Zesty Italian Chicken Salad
Author: KP
Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: American
- 28 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 Cup Zesty Italian dressing (for marinating chicken)
- ¼ Cup Zesty Italian dressing
- 1 Cup Miracle Whip dressing
- ½ Cup diced celery
- ½ Cup diced carrots
- ½ Cup shredded Velveeta Mozzarella
- Slice boneless skinless chicken breast into thin strips, marinate in Zesty Italian dressing for 2-3 hours.
- Preheat grill pan to medium high heat.
- Remove strips from marinade and discard excess marinade.
- Grill marinated chicken strips until cooked through (7-10 minutes)
- When cool enough to handle, dice chicken strips.
- In a large bowl add cooked diced chicken and drizzle a ¼ cup of fresh Zesty Italian dressing over chicken. Stir thoroughly to combine.
- Add diced carrots and celery to chicken mixture and stir to combine.
- Add Miracle Whip dressing to chicken mixture and thoroughly combine all ingredients.
- Serve warm or refrigerate to serve later.
- Serve with rolls for sandwiches or on crackers and top with shredded cheese.
- I prefer to top with cheese instead of mixing into the salad in case there are leftovers. I am not a fan of soggy cheese.
