pittsburgh chicken salad

So last night I made an old favorite of mine - the Pittsburgh chicken salad. If you're not from the 'burgh, you may be wondering what makes this different from any other salad. The difference is french fries. We love putting french fries on things (see: Primanti Bros.) Especially seasoned, zesty fries. I love over-cooking them just a bit so they're nice and crispy. Throw them on a bed of romaine with a peppery sauteed chicken breast and melt some sharp cheddar all over. Top with another Pittsburgh favorite, Ranch dressing, and you have an awesome little bowl of paradise.

PS. This also works amazingly well with steaks on the grill in the summer.

  1. now that sounds awesome, and being an Erie, PA girl, not too far away from the burgh, i'm feelin' it. my friend turned me on to your blog, and i like your style. unfortunately, today i resolved to try to get back to my dieting.... but maybe i could splurge one of these days on those fries!
