Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad

I tried a garlic lime grilled chicken which sounded perfect, but turned out to be dry, and pretty boring.  I had quite a bit left over, so I looked for a chicken salad recipe to revive it.  This was amazing.  We made some open face sandwiches, and had some without any bread.  I hadn't thought about using Greek yogurt instead of mayo, but it was delicious.  I also didn't have dried cranberries, but the apples and grapes were enough sweetness. I also added celery.  You can find the recipe here:  http://damndelicious.net   (She's a cute food blogger.)

Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

Stacey tried this recipe out on her family, and it passed the test.  It comes from Lindsey and her food blog, Pinch of Yum.  I like her and her blog.  I think we'll be trying more of her creations.
