Directions

Looking for a use for that left over chicken breast? We cook up a batch each week to use in quick recipes like this delicious citrus salad. I used UDOs oil in the dressing, which is flax-based, pinto beans, and baby romaine lettuce. I divided the portions across four wide-mouth mason jars. Give it a shake before eating and enjoy!
