Asiago Chicken Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Whisk together Asiago cheese, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, wine, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Pour evenly over chicken breasts.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 40 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Top with black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and additional Asiago cheese just before serving.

Steps:

• In a non-metal bowl, combine sliced grilled chicken, 1/2 cup asiago cheese, zucchini, carrots, tomatoes, onions, red pepper, and basil strips.
• Mix and combine with Italian dressing.
• Cover and put in fridge to marinate at least 4 hours.
• Place salad mixture on a bed of chopped romaine, garnish with basil leaves and sprinkle with remaining asiago cheese.

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar and oil in a large bowl. Stir in cranberries, shallot, salt, and pepper. Set aside until cranberries begin to soften and flavors meld, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add arugula, Asiago cheese, and pine nuts to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Choose a heavy pot or Dutch oven with a tightfitting lid. It should be large enough to hold the chicken snugly, but not much bigger. Fill pot about 2/3 full with cold water, but don't put the chicken in yet. Boil some extra water in a teakettle.
• Add scallions and peppercorns to water, cover and bring to a rolling boil. Turn off heat and slip chicken pieces into the hot water. If needed, add boiling water from the kettle to cover chicken with water by 2 inches. Replace the lid and let chicken rest in the hot water for about 2 hours. Do not turn the flame back on: The pot will retain enough heat to cook chicken thoroughly and safely. (To test, cut into 1 piece of chicken and check the meat near the bone. If it is still pink, return the pot to low heat, bring the water to a simmer and simmer 10 minutes more.)
• Lift chicken out of the pot. Remove and discard bones, skin and fat. Pat the meat dry with paper towels, then cut or shred into small bite-size pieces and transfer to a bowl. (Meanwhile, simmer cooking liquid until tasty, strain and refrigerate or freeze to use as chicken stock.)
• In a bowl, whisk together juice of 1/2 lemon, mayonnaise and sour cream. If using, whisk in mustard or brine. Taste and adjust the seasonings and thickness to your liking. Pour over chicken, scraping the bowl clean with a rubber spatula.
• Add celery, onion if using, nuts, herbs and salt and pepper. Toss gently but thoroughly. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with herbs before serving.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a food processor; process until coarsely chopped. Use as a sandwich spread or serve on crackers.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Grill chicken 6 to 8 min. on each side or until done (165°F), topping with cheese and adding rolls, cut sides down, to grill for the last minute.
• Spread mayonnaise onto cut sides of bottom halves of rolls.
• Fill with chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and bacon.
