Patty’s Party Potpourri Chicken

Patty’s Party Potpourri Chicken

Insane Paula and still cooking writes:
The humor never ends when you have sisters. Patty is my youngest sibling. Single, non-cooking mom. A couple of weeks ago, she called me on a Sunday morning. We chatted for a bit and she mentioned she was invited to a get together at a friend’s house and offered to bring something. Now I know that “something” means whatever I made for her. I asked her when the get together was, figuring I had a few days to come up with something. Will I never learn? “ It is at 2:00 today.”

Even with caller ID, I still answer my phone, another sign of insanity. I had made some roast chicken the night before and figured what the heck.
Ingredients:
  1. 3 Cups cooked Chicken ( cooked in anyway works) Shredded.
  2. 2 Cups fresh Spinach, chopped fine.
  3. 2 Red Peppers, diced small
  4. 2 Cloves of garlic, chopped fine
  5. 1 Cup Shredded Carrots
  6. 1 Cup Celery , chopped fine
  7. 1 Bunch of Scallions, chopped fine
  8. 3 Tomatoes, diced small
  9. 1 Can of Black, pitted, Olives, drained and chopped small
  10. 2 Jalepeno peppers chopped small
  11. ½ Cup Olive Oil
Directions: (duh!)

Place all of the ingredients in one bowl and toss.

This dish is great as a side, served on pita bread or over rice.
Also you can add or exclude pretty much anything you want.


Even having to boil or roast a chicken, you are simply not going to get easier than this for a great meat salad or side dish. It is full of great tangy veggies and spices as well. Paula does it again, or should I say, Paula's sisters do it again!

Thanks for naming this dish.
I had other names chosen but it would not have been appropriate for all :)

This is the last of Paula's recipes for "food & cooking staples" so far. She writes: Sometimes you run out of an item midway through baking. It is fun to be able to make the missing content out of items you have sitting in your cupboards. Baking Powder Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch 2 Tablespoons Cream of Tartar 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda Just whisk together until evenly blended Baking Art Print 12 in. x 6 in. Buy at AllPosters.com Fifty Percent (50%) of all revenue of any product purchased through Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen goes to help feed needy families in Israel. The funds are donated directly to the needy families - regardless of religion, race or creed. The remaining 50% will be donated to a Rape Crises Center for Women in Israel. Paula obviously has a knack in the kitchen. I took this recipe but remember folks it implies you have Cream of Tartar and implies Cornstarch and Baking soda. If I had all this stocked in my kitchen - trust me I would al...

Shrek Cookbook - Book Review

(***Due to layout of this review, if viewed in an RSS reader, certain sections may seem duplicated.) Before we begin, the normal disclaimer. This book review was solicited by the publishers of the Shrek Cookbook and contains my opinion of the book. For kosher readers of Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen - This is not a "kosher" cookbook though the majority of recipes in the Shrek Cookbook can be used as is, or with just a few sane and healthy substitutions, can be kept kosher. (Indeed as far as I could tell every recipe in this book can be kept kosher.) It is not that difficult to find equivalent and healthy kosher substitutes these days, especially in the United States. Book Details: The Shrek Cookbook , published by Dorling Kindersley ( www.dk.com ) is a publicized as a cookbook for children (ages 4-8). It's 30+ recipes come in Ringbound Hard Cover, so the pages can be turned easily while the book lays on a counter top. The font is large, catering to the child and p...

Chicken-Rice Roger

Nancy sent this one in. Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen seems to have lit the fire in her kitchen! She writes: I have an ancient cookbook titled "The I Hate To Cook Book". It looks like the Dead Sea Scrolls: it's a paper-back with brown, crispy pages which are crumbling at the edges and more than quite a few of the recipes have large grease stains on them (shows you how wonderfully often they were referred to). I checked the publishing date and it reads 1960! I know...I'm as old as Methuselah. The recipes in this cookbook are about as easy as you'll ever find, so if you are in the category of "cooking for dummies", this particular recipe will please you no end. This recipe is one that was so popular that I even took it to weekend get-aways with my husband's cousin and her husband. We two women stayed up all night chewing the fat, and when we saw the morning light sliding through the Venetian blinds in the kitchen, we took the partially devou...
