Easy Peasy Chicken Salad Recipes

SIMPLE GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk oil, lemon juice, hot sauce, and thyme in a small saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken and onion slices on a plate. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the dressing over the chicken and onions; turn to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
• Grill chicken and onion slices on the preheated grill, turning once, until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Set the saucepan with the remaining dressing at the edge of the grill to warm.
• Transfer chicken and onion slices to a place. Cut chicken crosswise into thin slices. Separate onion slices into rings.
• Place lettuce in a large bowl; add chicken and onion. Add warm dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve.

EASY PEASY CHICKEN BAKE

• Mix together the garlic, shallots, white wine, chicken broth, red wine vinegar, mustard seed, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme in a bowl, and set aside.
• Place the chicken thighs into the prepared baking dish, and scatter the potatoes, mushrooms, and peas around the dish. Pour the liquid mixture over the chicken and vegetables, lifting the thighs slightly to allow the flavors to spread through the whole dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, the juices run clear, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh reads at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 40 minutes. Allow dish to stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
