chicken salad

I made this yummy salad for dinner last nite with french onion soup. yummo!

Salad greens
radishes
green onions
mandarin orange segments
celery
carrots
parsley
Sliced up all the vegetables, thingly
Dressing: tarragon vinegar, orange zest, olive oil , salt and pepper to taste
mix this or shake it up.

6 chicken thighs or 3 breast, boneless, skinless
Cut these up into strips, salt and peper, cook in pan,kind of like you are stir-frying. Then i mix dijon mustard, honey, the tarragon vinegar, in with the chicken when it's almost cooked through. it makes a nice coating and helps it crisp up a little. i then mix this in with the salad, dressing and some strips of cheese like parmasean or pecorineo something that is sharp, but will not melt on you. also it would be good with sliced almonds!

oh yea i always put boiled eggs in there and i thought that feta would be kind of good, maybe too over powering, so definately romano would be the best, yea that's it!

okay so don't put feta in it and if you just make the shit saute with salt and pepper and some oil, it won't mingle so much with the flavors of the salda, maybe with some of the tarragon vinegar, just some splashed. it will be awesome! oh and croutons would be good, like homemade ones only, don't buy croutons, always make your own, i demand it!
