Dill Chicken Blueberry Salad
*
Chicken:
*
*5 Chicken Breast, Boneless and Skinless, grilled (I used George Forman)
*Sea Salt and freshly Ground black Pepper, sprinkled on both sides raw chicken breasts
*
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in resealable gallon sized plastic bags and pound the chicken with cooking mallet or small wood rolling pin until slightly flatter.
*
Then remove the breast from bags. Grill chicken for 10-12 minutes on each side on a George Forman. Now place grilled chicken breasts in a cast iron skillet drizzled with extra Light Olive Oil (cover with foil) and cook/moisten them in a 350*F. oven for 15 to 20 minutes to make tender. But you can also grill chicken breasts on a outdoor grill or grill pan on the stove until the meat is no longer pink in the center. (Internal temperature Chicken Beasts 165*F.). Allow Chicken to rest still covered with aluminum foil for 5-10 minutes and then slice into bite size pieces.
*
Corn:
*
*3 fresh Ears of Corn, seasoned and grilled to still slightly crunchy
*spread butter on to sides of the corn and sprinkle or shake on:
*Smoked Paprika
*Fish seasoning like Creole or Bay Seasoning
*Garlic Salt
*Fresh Ground Pepper
*
I also grilled the 3 seasoned corn ears on a George Forman wrapped in heavy duty aluminum foil for about 10-15 minutes on each side. Allow corn to cool and cut corn off the cobs.
*
*Celery, using only the Inner Light Stalks of Celery Stalks, diced small
*1/2 Red Onion, finely diced
*2-3 tablespoons Dill, chopped
*1-2 cups Blueberries, added just before serving
*
Combine all of the above ingredients for chicken salad: Chicken, corn, celery, red onion, dill and lastly blueberries, gently stirring together. Add dressing just before serving.
*
Feta Dressing
*
*1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
*1/2 cup Olive Oil Mayonnaise
*1-2 tablespoons Sugar or 2 packets Splenda
*1-2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
*1 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
*Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper, to taste
*
Stir together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and then stir into salad ingredients just before serving.
*
Serve salad on individual pieces of lettuce leaves like Butter Crunch or Iceberg.
*
Serves 9-12
