    Ingredients Method Notes

    Ingredients
      

    • ⅓ cup yogurt
    • 3 tbsp strawberry jam adjust to sweetness
    • 1 cup chocolate chips
    • 1 tbsp coconut oil for a crunchy chocolate coating

    Method
     

    Prepare the Yogurt Mixture
    1. In a medium-sized bowl, add the yogurt. Gently swirl in the strawberry jam to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to mix it in fully.
    Form the Popsicles
    1. On a non-stick flat plate or parchment paper, spoon small dollops of the yogurt mixture. Insert popsicle sticks into the dollops if desired. Place the plate in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until the yogurt is completely frozen.
    Make the Chocolate Coating
    1. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt the mixture using a double boiler: place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth and glossy.
    Dip the Popsicles
    1. Remove the frozen yogurt popsicles from the freezer. Quickly dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring all sides are coated. Work swiftly, as the yogurt melts quickly and the chocolate hardens fast upon contact.
    Freeze Again
    1. Place the coated popsicles back on the plate and return them to the freezer. Freeze until the chocolate is fully set, about 15-30 minutes.
    Store and Enjoy
    1. Transfer the popsicles to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. Store in the freezer for up to 1 month. Enjoy whenever you crave a refreshing, crunchy treat!

    Ingredients
      

    For the Chicken:
    • 3 chicken breast tenders Trader Joe’s recommended
    • 2 tsp onion powder
    • 1-2 tsp coarse salt or enough to flavor the water.
    • 2-3 bay leaves
    • 2 cups water
    For the Salad Dressing:
    • 5 tbsp mayonnaise
    • 1 tsp mustard
    • ½ tsp lemon juice
    • ⅛ tsp celery seed
    • ⅛ tsp salt
    • ¼ tsp black pepper
    • ¼ tsp onion powder
    Additional Ingredients:
    • 1½ celery stalks finely diced
    For the Sandwich:
    • 1 large tomato thinly sliced
    • Lettuce leaves
    • Potato bread burger buns

    Method
     

    Cook the Chicken
    1. In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the onion powder, salt, and bay leaves. Carefully place the chicken tenders into the boiling water and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
    Shred and Cool
    1. Remove the chicken from the water and shred it using a fork. Place the shredded chicken in the fridge for about 10 minutes to cool.
    Prepare the Salad Dressing
    1. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, celery seed, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and well combined. Add the diced celery and stir to incorporate.
    Mix the Chicken Salad
    1. Remove the cooled chicken from the fridge and add it to the dressing. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Return the chicken salad to the fridge for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
    Prepare Sandwich Ingredients
    1. While waiting, slice the tomato and wash the lettuce. Lightly toast the potato bread buns in a pan until golden and slightly crispy.
    Assemble the Sandwich
    1. Layer the sandwich with a slice of tomato, a generous scoop of chicken salad, and a leaf of lettuce. Top with the other half of the bun, and your sandwich is ready to serve!

    So easy and tasty!
    I would seriously recommend trying this!! It’s one of my favorite recipes and always fills me up when I want something quick to eat. Plus you can make more of the chicken salad and store it in the fridge for later.
