As I've confessed several times I am not a great cook. I mean sure I can cook the heck out of anything that comes prepackaged and all I have to do is add a few ingredients, but as far as making something from scratch I am completely clueless.

There used to be this pizza place in my town and when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter I craved their food! More specifically I craved their Chicken Fry Salads...I mean I could eat these all day every day! They closed quite a few years ago and I was devastated because I loved those damn salads, so I had to try to make it on my own and to my surprise I did (now I know you're all like how hard could a salad be, and it's not, but just the stress of wondering if mine would be as good as theirs was enough to make me lose my mind). I'm happy to report that mine tasted better and I wanted to share this quick, easy, delicious, and not all that bad for your body recipe with y'all...enjoy!


Now since I never write recipes for anything that I make I'm just going to show you how I make it...yes I took pictures!



First I take 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts and marinate them in 1 1/2 cups of Italian dressing for about an hour. Then I cut them in bite size pieces, add salt and pepper, and cook them on the stove top in about a teaspoon of vegetable oil until cooked through. (You can also grill the chicken and then cut it up and it tastes equally amazing!)

At the same time the chicken is marinating I start the fries in the oven and cook them until they are crispy and golden brown.









I then take whatever bagged salad mix I have and add cucumber, green pepper, and whatever other veggies I have around.









You assemble it with the salad on the bottom, then fries, chicken, cheese, and dressing and I promise you this is the best salad you will ever eat! Enjoy!
