A colorful Asian salad made with crisp cabbage, tender roasted chicken, sweet bell pepper, and a rich and tangy peanut-sesame dressing. 

Large serving bowl full of Chinese chicken salad with cabbage, peanuts, sesame seeds, wonton strips, bell peppers.

This refreshing Chinese Chicken Salad has such a welcome, satisfying blend of textures paired with well rounded flavor. The dressing has a crave-able rich peanut flavor, the veggies offer the salad so much freshness and a great crunch, and the chicken makes it hearty and filling.

It's fairly easy to make since it includes a shortcut of store-bought, pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. This also makes it a no cooking required dinner salad recipe.

There's just bit of measuring, chopping and tossing. And if you happen to have someone to help one of you can prep the salad while the other person makes the dressing.

It's a nutritious, all in one salad that's great for serving as a main dish entree for lunch or dinner. You'll love all the deliciousness in every bite!

Easy Peanut Butter Pie

A dreamy, luscious pie that has an overload of peanut butter flavor and a chocolatey Oreo crust to pair with it. It almost taste like eating a Reese's but in pie form!

This pie is great for those times when you want in impressive dessert but you only want to put in bare minimal effort.

The crust is already made so all you need to do is whip the cream, mix the remaining ingredients then fold it all together and spread over the crust.

Then of course can decorate as you wish - using things such as sweetened whipped cream, warmed peanut butter, fudge sauce, chocolate ganache, mini Reese's or Reese's Pieces, or chopped roasted peanuts.

Or leave it topping free and no one will be complaining. This pie is temptingly tasty!

Puppy Chow Muddy Buddies Recipe https://www.cookingclassy.com/puppy-chow-muddy-buddies/ https://www.cookingclassy.com/puppy-chow-muddy-buddies/#comments Sun, 01 Dec 2019 06:58:14 +0000 https://www.cookingclassy.com/?p=42540 My favorite way to make Puppy Chow AKA Muddy Buddies! Easy as always with the perfect flavor and ratio of ingredients. All you need is 6 ingredients and you're moments away from one of the most highly addictive snacks off all time! A classic must have recipe!

The BEST Puppy Chow Muddy Buddies Recipe

Since I was probably 10 years old Puppy Chow, or what we call Muddy Buddies, have been one of my favorite treats and of course they were one of the very first things I learned how to make.

They're a regular thing around here (I make them probably once a month), and I love taking them on trips and bringing them to parties. My whole family is obsessed with these! They're also great for Christmas gifting to those without allergies.

They are unbelievably easy to make and hard to mess up. No mixer required, and no oven or stovetop needed. All you need is a microwave and a few basic kitchen tools (bowl, measuring cups, spatula), and about 10 minutes of your time or less to prepare them.

So what's my tip for the best puppy chow?? Milk chocolate chips. I mean think about it, do Reese's peanut butter cups taste good with dark chocolate? No. Peanut butter and milk chocolate were made go together, otherwise dark chocolate overpowers and drowns out the flavor of the peanut butter.

If you insist you can use half semi-sweet chocolate chips and half milk chocolate chips but I don't recommend all semi-sweet chocolate chips or it's just too much if you ask me. I've tasted both and hands down milk chocolate wins no question. Try it and you will see what I mean!

They really are one of the most tempting desserts you’ll ever make! Try them and you’ll see what I mean.
