Tropical Chicken Salad

In keeping with the tropical vibe, I decided to make this tropical fruity chicken salad. My mom had made if for me last month and she had gotten the recipe from a friend. I am not normally a fan of fruited chicken salad, but this one was so amazing! So simple, but so delicious! It […]

These are from Good Things Catered and they are everything their name suggests, juicy, light and delicious. I got so many compliments on these. Even those that don’t like scones will […]
