The Bantam Weight Chicken salad is a copycat recipe from one of my daughter’s and my favorite cafes. It is very tasty with grilled chicken and veggies on fresh greens with most of the veggies from my garden. Add some home made croutons and you have a very satisfying meal.

My daughter is moving to LA soon. Quite honestly, it’s bittersweet for me. I will miss her terribly, but I am also very excited for her to start her life by herself. For the last few months, she and I have had “date days” each Monday to make sure we get the most out of our last summer together.
We go out for lunch, almost always to Lily’s Pizza in Raleigh, and then we go to Whole Foods, to get things for a special dinner and have a reality TV night watching the Bachelorette. Her dad is “along for the ride” too, even though that is by no means his favorite show.
Lily’s makes great pizzas, salads and pastas. Each time I have something there, I try to reconstruct it. I usually get it fairly close but not exact. This recipe for Bantam Weight Chicken Salad is a pretty close approximation though.
Store bought rotisserie chickens work just fine for this recipe. You can even use the rotisserie chicken container in some gardening ways later. Check out my rotisserie chicken mini terrarium for a few ideas.
This is one of my favorite dishes. It is perfect for Vegans, but I made it for my husband who eats meat and he loves it too.
I know one thing – My daughter has moved to California, and how miss these date days! Can’t wait for her to return to Raleigh, so we can go to Lily’s again!
