Chicken Salad Sandwiches, BLT Salad and Quesidillas

So, we had potluck today...our sandwich potluck. I took chicken salad sandwiches, a BLT salad, and Pear Tartlets. The sandwiches and salad were a big hit. Both are super easy, but I thought I would share the recipes with you just in case you wanted to give it a try.

Chicken Salad Sandwiches (I think these are our favorite sandwich, and super easy too!)

Mix up:
cooked chicken breast, cut in chunks (I grill lots all at one time, and use it for stir fry, quesadillas...etc.)
grapes, cut in quarters
walnuts (or almonds, or whatever you have)
green onion, diced
Miracle Whip


Mix it all up, slap it on some bread, and voila! Deliciousness!!

BLT salad
Romaine lettuce (about 2 heads), cut in bite size pieces
1 package bacon, cooked and diced
3 roma tomatoes, diced
Miracle Whip (about 1 cup...adjust to suit your taste!)
1 tsp of salt-free seasoning (we have this stuff from Superstore called "Salad & Vegetable Mix" that's really good)

I had Mike guessing what the dressing was...and he had all sorts of guesses, but never thought it was mostly Miracle Whip. The salad was completely cleaned up, and we only came home with one sandwich (which was eaten before supper).


And, in case you have more left over chicken breast, give this a try:
Quesadillas
Heat margarine in a pan (over medium heat). Throw a flour tortilla in there. Sprinkle grated cheese on it. Add sliced or diced chicken, maybe some onions and green peppers, then some more cheese. Top it with another flour tortilla. Spread margarine on the top tortilla (kinda like you would for a grilled cheese sandwich...) When the bottom side is nice and golden, flip it over and cook the second side until golden. Mmmmm...be sure to serve when it's still nice, hot and crispy!
