Hot Damned Summer Chicken Fruit Salad

 

     The next meal idea on our EXTENDED STAY menu.  As HOT as it's been this past 10 days, this salad works many sides of the menu and still satisfies.  I know that chicken breasts are lower fat and healthier, but sometimes the flavor of dark meat just justifies the need.  Perfect meal on a hot day.  

2 chopped avocados

10-12 sliced strawberries

2 slices of chopped cantaloupe

1 slice chopped celery

Several romaine leaves

2 chicken thighs, sliced thin and braised

¼ cup slivered almonds or choice of nuts

Sliced fruit n vegges

Braised chicken thighs

      Clean, slice, and braise chicken over med heat.  Set aside.  Arrange romaine leaves on plate and surround with assorted fruits, celery, chicken, and top with nuts.  Delicious fresh fruit, vegees, and succulent chicken, oh my.  I even had an extra peach leftover so voile'.  No dressing needed.  Serve.  Dang, should have made some Sangria. 

Plated finis' summer fruit salad
