Warm Chicken-Mushroom Caesar Salad

This recipe is a favorite of ours we use when we’re short on time but heavy on left over grilled or baked chicken. It’s yummy. If you need to watch cholesterol you can substitute a parmesan lightly sprinkled over your personal serving of salad.

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 15-20 minutes Yield: 1 salad

1 pound of button mushrooms-sliced (or mushroom of choice)
1 pound of left over chicken sliced thin
2 tsp. Olive oil
1 tsp. Minced garlic (optional)
1 large head romaine lettuce; cleaned and torn up and placed in large salad bowl
3 scallions
¼ c. blue cheese or gorgonzola cheese

1. Cook mushrooms in 1 tsp. Of olive oil and garlic in large pan until cooked thoroughly. Usually it’s about 15-20 minutes over a med heat.
2. A couple of minutes before mushrooms are done throw in your chicken and mix well with mushrooms.
3. Gently place chicken mixture over top of lettuce.
4. Sprinkle with scallions and cheese (sometimes I top with ground black pepper).

Bon Appetite!
