Recipe : Crazy Chicken Salad

Ok growing up my mom and dad made this chicken macaroni salad that we named Crazy Chicken Salad, the normal vegetables it calls for are diced carrots and celery.  I’m not a fan of big pieces of carrots and I hate celery so I made my own interpretation.  I made this for a 4th of July Party I will be attended at my friend Sean’s tomorrow.

DanGarion’s Crazy Chicken Salad

1 1/2 Pounds of Chicken Thighs
1 lb. package of mini elbow macaroni
1 package of Hidden Valley Ranch Buttermilk Dressing
1 1/2 cups of Mayonnaise
1/4 to 1/2 cup of Milk
3 Carrots peeled and grated
1 Head of Broccoli cut into small pieces
3/4 lb. Monterey Jack Cheese, cubed
5 strips of bacon cooked and crumbled
Salt and Pepper

Lightly salt and pepper chicken in a large cassorole dish.  Place chicken in microwave and cook on high for about 20 minutes turning chicken over every 5 minutes.  Let chicken cool, once cooled get all the meat from the chicken and dice it up, cover and place in refrigerator.  Cook macaroni as described on label, run under cold water and drain.  In a large bowl mix together package of dressing, mayonnaise and milk make sure consistance is slightly thicker then regular dressing.  Mix in broccoli and carrots.  Mix in macaroni, cheese, and chicken.  Once salad is thoroughly mixed cover and place in refrigerator untill ready to serve.  Before serving sprinkle salad with crumbled bacon.  Enjoy!

I’ll try to get a picture of it tomorrow to include.  I had a quick taste of it before I placed it in the fridge and it tasted great!
