Cajun Chicken Pasta

I got this recipe here.

What you need:
1/2 pound penne pasta
1 jar alfredo sauce
5 chicken tenders
1 tomato
Cajun Seasoning

Cook pasta accoring to package directions. While pasta is cooking, sprinkle chicken tenders on both sides with seasoning and grill them. I grill mine on my George Foreman Grill. Drain pasta and put it back into pot with the jar of alfredo sauce and I sprinkle a little of the cajun seasoning to give it a little kick. After in is heated, place pasta on plate top with chicken cut into strips and diced tomatoes. Enjoy!

I bought the same Cajun Season as the link. It was the first one I saw at Walmart. It is in a green bottle with a little cartoon chef pictured on it and it is called: Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning. "Great on Everything!" And I think that could be true. It is a yummy seasoning.

BBQ Chicken Salad

We had some grilled BBQ chicken for dinner one Sunday at the Holt's and we took home all the left overs. I was looking for something new to make with it and came across a BBQ chicken salad recipe. It was delicious!
BBQ Chicken (this can be done on the George Forman if you would like. Just cook the chicken with a little BBQ sauce on both sides)
Lettuce
Tomato
Corn
Black Beans
Avocado
French's French Fried Onions
The dressing is ranch and BBQ sauce mixed together. Ryan was skeptical of this until I mixed it. It pretty much tastes like Red Robin fry sauce.
I wish I took a picture of this salad. It looked pretty. It really was so good. I wish I was eating it right now.
