My friend Jessica

This is my dear friend Jessica


Anyone that knows her, knows that God has gifted her with hospitality.  Along with being an amazing hostess in her home, delivering meals to those who've just had a rough day, she is an amazing cook AND baker.
Everywhere she takes food, people always want her recipes.  One day maybe she'll write a cookbook and you all can buy it.  Until then, I joked that I was going to feature her on my blog...she laughed...I was serious.  So, these recipes are from her home to yours (with her permission).  It would be a crime to keep these a secret and she doesn't have time to write them down for everyone, she's in the kitchen whipping up something amazing I'm sure.  



Chicken Salad

3 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 c mayo 
1/2-3/4 c sour cream
1/2-3/4 c finely chopped celery
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp dill weed
1/2 tsp onion powder
grapes, pecans, craisins, etc.

-Put chicken breast in slow cooker and cover with water, cook on low for 45 min-1hr (depending on size). Allow to cool, trim off any fat, cut into tiny pieces or bite size chunks, whichever you prefer
-Stir together equal parts of mayo and sour cream and add remaining ingredients.  Serve on croissants or a bed of lettuce with fresh fruit. Enjoy!

*I use 1/2 c of mayo (Duke's brand only) and sour cream.  I didn't add celery because my hubby isn't a fan and it's still yummy.  My favorite way to make it is with grapes and served on croissants
