Rosemary Walnut Chicken Salad
- 1 cup Walnuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
- 2 tsp. Fresh Rosemary, chopped
- Salt and Pepper (you know how much you like)
- 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 15 oz bottle Kraft Tangy Bacon Catalina dressing
- 4 oz. Herb & Garlic Goat Cheese
- Mixed greens or Butter lettuce
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the walnuts, cheese, rosemary and salt and pepper.
Take a small scoop of mixture and place underneath each olive oil sprayed chicken breast. Top with remaining mixture and pat down. Spray again to coat.
Bake for 30 minutes . Scoop chicken off baking stone making sure to get the crispy cheesy goodness surrounding it, cool slightly, then slice the chicken carefully to keep cheese and nuts intact.
Serve over a mixed green salad with crumbled goat cheese and a drizzle of Tomato Bacon dressing. OR extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar if you are the healthy sort.
Enjoy your flavorful and salad! It’s such a nice change from “the usual”!
