My next-door neighbor grills almost every night. The sweet-smelling smoke wafts over the fence and through the air, making my stomach grumble.
âOh, itâs nothing!â she says. âAll I do is turn on the grill!â
Sorry, but I donât believe her.
When I grill, itâs always a production. Even the simplest summer grilling recipes mean remembering to allow time to marinate the chicken, gathering the right utensils, and opening and shutting the door to the deck 15 times, letting a fly in each and every time.
But I love chicken, and never more so than in the summer. And once I discovered PERDUEÂź SHORT CUTSÂź Carved Chicken Breasts, my whole life changed! These fully-cooked, carved strips of chicken are always fresh â never frozen. Theyâre perfectly seasoned and have no preservatives)âand theyâre gluten-free which is great for my sensitive belly!
Best of all, theyâre ready to go when you are. You can heat them up or eat them cold. Either way, theyâre ultra-convenient, completely delicious and perfect for a whole bunch of healthy summer recipes. I like to use my PERDUEÂź SHORT CUTSÂź Carved Chicken Breasts for chicken salad and all kinds of tasty sandwiches.
My favorite summer chicken recipe of all is the Southwestern Style Chicken Fajita Salad. It only takes a minute to chop up the veggies (sometimes I buy them pre-chopped, but donât tell my husband!) and whip up the dressing, and no time at all to sautĂ© it all together.
Not only does it make a pretty presentation, but, thanks to the PERDUEÂź SHORT CUTSÂź Carved Chicken Breasts itâs such a simple chicken recipe I can make it any day of the week.
But, perhaps best of all, the last time we invited our next-door neighbors over, I served my Southwestern Style Chicken Fajita Salad and they were totally impressed that I had the time to go to so much trouble!
As for me, I was just happy not to have the flies in the house.
