Sundried Tomato Chicken and Poppyseed dressing



I forgot to take a picture of this meal before I dove into it...so my plate is a little messy :)


I LOVE this chicken dish. It's a similar process to making Chicken Cordon Blue, I think slightly easier. The recipe is on p. 103. I cut each chicken breast in half so they were smaller pieces, more kid friendly. I still used 1/2 stick cheese in each piece. I used margarine instead of butter, still very tasty but real butter is definitely better. The first time I made this I wasn't sure where to find the sun-dried tomatoes, so if you are like me I'll let you know! You find them in glass jars, packed in olive oil. Usually the same isle at your grocery store that you'd find olives. Costco sells a large jar of them that are very tasty. I recommend buying them already diced up.

I also made a very yummy salad (spinach, candied pecans, onion, blue cheese, and blackberries) and made the poppyseed dressing (p 60) to go with it. I couldn't find xanthum gum, any tips on where to find it? Very yummy dressing! Very easy to make.

  1. The xanthan gum can be found at most grocery stores in the natural foods section, or at a health food store. It is a little expensive, but goes a very long way. I would recommend splitting a bag among several people or getting a couple of tablespoons from your sister!

  2. Xanthum gum is down the baking aisle at Wal-Mart. They carry Bob's brand.
