As the weather gets warmer my days get busier so I need meals to be simple. I run a full time business, The Enchanted Cupboard, while running my household and homeschooling 4 children. I need to keep our meals healthy and nutrition filled! I love this recipe because it is what I make with the last 2 chicken breast when I am doing big batch cooking and it is packed full of yummy veggies. Dicing up the veggies and adding it to chicken salad is a great way to boast your kids diet with lots of color that are full of antioxidants! I serve this for lunch on whole wheat bread and a cup fruit salad. You could easily make this low carb. and gluten free by serving it on big lettuce leaves like a wrap! If you like this easy recipe and want more come checkout my own blog and see what is cooking in my kitchen.

On my work table I often have much smaller versions of play food just right for Waldorf Style dolls. I work with wood and paper clay to make play food.
This sweet little set is made of wood and is just right for doll house dolls. I so enjoy creating for this miniature world of childhood play. Come on over to the Nature Table and see what is cooking at the Acorn Cafe.

On the first day of Spring the world was a buzz of activity at the Acorn Cafe.
Everyone was enjoying the wonderful food made by Miss Dandelion.
Grandpa was having his favorite tomato sandwich.
A few fairies stopped in for tea and sweets.
Four forest friends enjoyed an after noon treat.
All were happy on this bright spring day.

Great post! I love the acorn cafe & all the play food. Such fun! & we love chicken salad here as well, at least my dh and I do. Still trying to get the kids in on it.
Chicken salad is always a hit at our house in the summer time! 🙂
This post made me hungry! It’s only ten in the morning. I love the little chicken. I wonder how big it is and whether it would fit in one of my pocketdresses?
not sure what the chicken is, there are forest animals from Muddyfeet, a frog, a fox, a raccoon, and a bunny
