Buffalo Chicken Salad Sandwiches


This weekend we had our annual family reunion and I was asked to bring something savory. Ugh. When I go to a get together, church dinner, girls night in, I prefer to bring something sweet. I am just better at doing sweet. I had no idea what I was going to bring with me to the reunion.
I knew I wanted it to be something easy to prepare, something quick, and something delicious. As we were walking around Walmart, my hubby had a brilliant idea. He suggested making a Buffalo Chicken Salad and serving them on a ciabada roll with a piece of lettuce. Seriously, the man in brilliant.
We walked around the store for a bit gathering the ingredients and trying to decide if there should be cheese in the salad. I loathe blue cheese so that was NOT an option, but a cheddar or mozzarella would be OK. We decided to just not put cheese in it. Next we had to decide on the wings. I wanted something quick and easy. Naturally, premade frozen wings popped into my head. But then I would have to cook them and I just did not have time for that. 
As we headed to the back of the store, where the deli is located, I started wondering if the deli department carried fresh, ready made, wings. To my surprise....they DO! Perfect! I grabbed a pound, a few other ingredients, then we headed home to whip the salad up! Of course, once home, I wanted to try the wings before deboning. They were delicious! Just the perfect amount of spice. The wings were super easy to work with and easy to debone. I especially loved that they were already cooked and ready to be used, this made my night so much easier.
My sweet cousin Meghan was the first to try the sandwiches. She thought they were pretty good.

Buffalo Chicken Salad
Serves 12
Ingredients
1 lb Bone-In Chicken Wings (deboned and shredded)
1/3 C Carrots - finely diced
1-2 Stalks Celery - finely diced
1/3-1/4 C Mayo
1 tsp Dry Ranch Dressing Mix
Lettuce (optional)
12 Mini Ciabatta Rolls
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine deboned/shredded Chicken Wings, Carrots and Celery.
In a small bowl combine Mayo and dry Ranch mix. It is best to allow this to sit in fridge overnight to let the flavors blend. You can use it right away if needed.
When ready to prepare sandwiches, combine Ranch Mayo with the Chicken mix and stir to combine.
Place a leaf of lettuce on each Ciabatta Roll then place 1-2 TBS Buffalo Chicken Salad onto each roll.
Serve immediately or store in fridge until ready to serve.
The sandwiches were a hit! I will be serving these as a meal this week to my little family. By adding some baked beans and a side of fruit, these would make a delicious dinner!

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet!   Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up.  I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this.  FREE is ALWAYS good!   I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail.  I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results.  I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it.  You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal}   12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Fr...

Today I am posting at Mom It Forward!

Hey guys!  I have some EXCITING news!  Today I am posting over at Mom It Forward ! I have shared my Fiesta Chicken Tacos recipe, it is SO good!  Go check it out!  While you are there, check out all of my other posts I have shared there. The Fiesta Chicken Taco mix is GREAT on nachos as well!  I also made a quesadilla with some of the mix last night and it was AMAZING!  This is also a very frugal meal, the total cost for me was $2.67! Here is the breakdown: Leftover Chicken - Free Black Beans - $0.50 for 1 can Frozen Corn - $0.17 (it was on sale and I used coupons, it was $0.33/bag and I used half a bag) Tomatoes and Green Chilies - FREE (again, on sale and I had a coupon) Tortillas - $2 Total- $2.67!  Now, if you had to buy all of that at regular price it still equals out to a very frugal meal. Enjoy!
