Fancy Pants Chicken Salad

Fancy pants chicken salad can literally be any chicken salad recipe that is jazzed up to your liking and made extra fancy. For example, we like to chop up chicken to make chicken salad and then add cream cheese, mayonnaise, salt, drained crushed pineapple, dried cranberries, salted almonds, and garnishes such as rosemary, parsley, blackberries, and raspberries.

Fancy Pants Pan Chicken

Use our recipe for Fancy Pants Chicken and pan fry it instead of tossing it in the oven. The key will be that you’ll want the internal temperature of the chicken to reach 165F degrees to determine doneness.  And be careful to not allow the chicken to dry out when you’re pan frying it. Keep it covered with a lid to help keep it moist.

Prosciutto-Stuffed Chicken with Mushroom Sauce

If you’re loving the fancy pants chicken recipe of prosciutto, mushrooms and spinach, with seasoning, you can modify the presentation of this to create a stuffed chicken recipe with mushroom sauce. Just slit the chicken breast about ½ – ¾ of the way through, using a lengthwise cut.  Then mix the remaining ingredients together and stuff them inside the chicken. Top with cheese and bake as instructed.
