Grilled Chicken Salad

Elegant enough for tea sandwiches, versatile enough for a kid's lunchbox. The secret's the tarragon and the grilled chicken.

2 Bags Tyson Grilled Chicken Breast Strips (10 oz.)
1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
2 Teaspoons Fresh Tarragon, chopped
4 Each Green Onions, chopped
1 Cup Red Seedless Grapes, halved
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice, fresh
1 Cup Celery, chopped
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Cashew Halves, for garnish

Mix mayonnaise, tarragon, green onions, grapes, lemon juice, celery and pepper together; mix well. Add chicken and toss. Top with cashews. Serve in lettuce cups, on ciabatta bread,
or in the center of a whole tomato cut into wedges.

2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
4 Tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar
2 Teaspoons Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
4 Tablespoons Fresh Mint, chopped
4 Tablespoons Fresh Basil, chopped
1/4 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Juice of One Lime
4 Cups Romaine Lettuce, torn into bits
1 Red Pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 Yellow Pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 Bag Tyson Grilled Chicken Breast Strips (10 oz.)

Combine the sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, sugar, salt, mint, basil, crushed red pepper
flakes and lime juice in a small bowl; mix well.

In a large bowl, combine lettuce & peppers. Add dressing, toss. Add grilled chicken strips
and lightly toss again. Serve.

This recipe is great for summertime; like a barbequed chicken sandwich hot off the grill, but in a snap.

1 Tablespoon Oil
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Dry Mustard
1 Cup Ketchup
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar

evenly. Cover each with top of bun.
