How does chicken go with St. Patrick's Day? It doesn't. But I thought that the rest of the recipe would serve as a great starting point, then I'd split that in half and add the shredded chicken to one portion, then add shredded corned beef to the other to keep everyone happy. I did a trial run with the chicken the other day and my daughter loved it. She would have been fine eating it as a side dish, as I'm sure that's what the recipe is intended for, but she ended up grabbing some tortilla shells and making herself a few soft tacos with this serving as the filling. Any recipe that can be used as a side dish as well as a main dish gets a gold star in my book already, but the versatility of being able to swap the protein, well that's a platinum star now. Chicken, pork, beef... they'd all work in this mixture. Pop some in taco shells, on burger buns, or scoop right onto your plate, there is definitely no wrong way to eat this. Make it for St. Patrick's Day with the corned beef, then play with other meats for Easter, then again for all of those upcoming summer picnics we're eagerly awaiting. It will be a family favorite in no time!

Seems very easy and practical too. Wish I could eat cabbage salad, it would be very convenient for me, but I cannot, sadly. I know people who live on cabbage salad because apparently it has all the vitamins but is not fattening. Plus cabbage used to be very cheap before this price madness. Now even potatoes are expensive.
ReplyDeleteI love cabbage and am glad that it does not affect me terribly. Maybe a little gassy, but it doesn't hurt my tummy to eat it like it does others. Yes, everything is so damn expensive anymore. We used to get potatoes for $1 a bag, but now they are up to like $5 for the same amount. What the what!?
DeleteI can tell that this salad is super fresh and delicious as well, Theresa. I can almost taste the mixture of soy sauce, honey, vinegar and all the ingredients you use here
ReplyDeleteYes, it is so flavorful, Indah! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI wouldn't mind corned beef except that it is so fatty. I'm good with cabbage, though I can't stand the smell of it being cooked.
ReplyDeleteI hate how the house smells after it has been cooked. I agree about corned beef. Seems like one big old piece of fat.
DeleteYeah, one that can be used as both is a win indeed. Chicken is good on saint me day too lol
ReplyDeleteOf course you'd mention chicken.
DeleteGracias por la receta se ve muy rico. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteShredded Chicken was my mama's favorite. Maybe I'll make this in honor of her. The kids won't complain, they'd love this... Now to figure out which way to serve it (since there are so many). Love that serving dish/basket combo.
ReplyDeleteI forgot I had that serving dish until I was cleaning the basement recently. It's always fun to find old favorites and give them life again.
DeleteOoo this sounds good, it also seems like it would be good for the super bowl too and summer events. I got sick again about a month after recovering from COVID so I made chicken soup this weekend. I call it my quick & dirty chicken soup as I cheat a bit. I buy chicken stock, cooked seasoned chicken strips, fire roasted diced tomatoes, a bag of mixed frozen veggies: peas, corn, carrots and a fresh zucchini. I chop up the zucchini and the chicken throw everything in a pot and cook/simmer for an hour and half or so and viola chicken soup!

Nothing wrong with cheating, especially since your soup sounds amazing! I am going to copy that down and give it a try soon!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this recipe, it looks delicious! I wish you a happy St Patrick's Day!
Thank you! Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, too!
DeleteColeslaw Salad is great :D
ReplyDeleteIt really is!
DeleteI am not
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with that!
DeleteI would eat that, it sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI love coleslaw :D
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a versatile recipe! Terry and I both enjoy corned beef for St. Patrick's Day, but this would be delicious anytime.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it would! Corned beef only gets served once a year here, but cabbage I can eat year round.
