CONCERT IN THE PARK SALAD
3 cups of chicken broth or water and bouillon
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 tsp ground ginger, divided
1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken
1 1/2 cups chicken broth or water and bouillon
1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice
1 tbsp butter
1 10 ounce pkg frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup sliced green onions
6-8 sweet baby peppers, all colors
DRESSING:
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp honey
1 garlic clove, minced
dash of ground ginger
DIRECTIONS:
In a large pot combine chicken, lemon juice, garlic, 1/4 tsp ginger, 3 cups of chicken broth (or use 3 cups water and 3 tsp bouillon) and bring to a slow boil. Cook chicken over low heat until done. Remove chicken and cool.
Cook rice in 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth (or 1 1/2 cups of water and 1 1/2 tsp bouillon), 1/2 tsp ginger, butter and salt. Fluff with a fork.
Put rice and chicken into a large bowl and cool. Add peas, onions, peppers, and whatever else is in your fridge that sounds good. I had some broccoli and cauliflower that I added and the peas were fresh from the garden.
Whisk together the dressing ingredients and drizzle over salad. Toss to coat well. Refrigerate for a few hours.
We made some biscuits to go with our salad and it was the perfect summer evening light dinner to go along with the music and atmosphere of the concert in the park.
This week we get to hear harmony, acoustic, contemporary, folk, pop, and rock all wrapped into one with Mister Sister, a local band. Don't miss it this week, Thursday, July 20th at the park on Heber City's Main Street. The Farmer's Market begins at 4:00 pm and the concert starts at 6:30 pm.
