Spicy Chicken Salad with Wine Reduction
Here's a twist on a recipe I've made before. I haven't posted the old one on here, however this one is better....it includes WINE!!!!!
Chicken Salad:
1 rotisserie chicken
Kale (not measured; just think about how much you'll need)
Spinach (same as the kale)
Sliced/slivered or whatever —almonds (or another kind of nut)
Pint of cherry/grape tomatoes
Sriracha sauce
6-8oz. plain Greek yogurt
Wine:
1 bottle (or box—I won't judge) nice wine
1 (or 2 if you feel like sharing) nice wine glasses
Directions:
— Pour a glass (or glasses—depending) of wine and take a sip
— Shred the rotisserie chicken (according to the amount of chicken you care to consume...I shredded the whole thing; they're small anyway) and dump into a large mixing bowl
*TIP: Use 2 forks to shred the chicken. Make sure the prongs fit between each other. You'll know it's correct when the forks sound like swords in a medieval battle
— Halve/quarter the tomatoes and dump into the large mixing bowl
— Add the spinach to the bowl
— Take another sip of wine (...if you haven't done so already)
— Tear the kale from the stems and add the leafy parts to the bowl as well
— Dump the nuts into the bowl
— Add the whole container of Greek yogurt
— Bring on the Sriracha sauce to taste (I like my salad spicy, so I typically squeeze for a while)
— Take another sip; you're almost done
— Mix it all together and serve!!
— Take another sip of wine to celebrate your accomplishment
(Further) Wine reduction:
— Refill your wine glass
— Enjoy your salad
