One of my favorite things to do is cook. While I like to follow recipes, I LOVE to create my own concoctions. In fact, if I am following a recipe, about 99% of the time, I am altering it. When I was given the opportunity to head to Sam’s Club and attend an in-store demonstration of Tyson Chicken Fries and then create a meal incorporating Tyson Chicken Fries, I jumped at it!

When I was at Sam’s Club, I immediately saw that they have a huge selection of Tyson products to choose from. There are cases and cases of Tyson Chicken Nuggets, Tyson Chicken Patties, Tyson Any’tizers and more.

The in-store Tyson Chicken Fries demonstration was held at the end of the aisle near the end cap and that is where I found the bags of Tyson Chicken Fries. It was obvious that Tyson Chicken Fries are popular because as you can see, the Tyson Chicken Fries were picked over!

I gave myself a personal challenge to create a meal using Tyson Chicken Fries that was quick, fresh and satisfying. In fact, I wanted to be able to make this entire meal during the time it took to cook the Chicken Fries (they take 12-15 minutes to cook)!

One of the ways my husband and I will try to eat healthy is by eating salads. I decided that utilizing my Tyson Chicken Fries, I would make a Chicken Salad with a Cilantro & Honey Dressing. I wanted the salad to have a Mexican twist and also utilize all of the fresh produce in my fridge.

I gathered all of my ingredients and preheat the oven at 400 degrees. During the time it took to preheat the oven, I was able to put my Tyson Chicken Fries on the cookie tray, wash my produce and begin cutting and putting the salad dressing ingredients into my food processor. (See below for the recipe.)  At that point, the buzzer went off telling me my oven was preheated.

I popped the tray of Chicken Fries into the oven, finished putting the dressing ingredients into the food processor and pureed my Cilantro & Honey Salad Dressing. I taste tested the dressing and realized it was AMAZING. Originally I was going to add vinegar to the dressing but I realized it was perfect just the way it was. I still had 8 minutes left before the chicken was finished cooking. For the salad, I then finished chopping the onions, tomatoes and green peppers, crushed the tortilla chips and drained and rinsed the black beans.

When the timer went off for the Tyson Chicken Fries, the dressing was complete and the salad ingredients were chopped. All I had to do was cut the chicken (I cut the fries into thirds) and plate the salad.

This salad was SO SO good. In fact, as soon as I finished snapping pictures of it, my husband grabbed the plate and devoured it within minutes. The Cilantro & Honey Salad Dressing perfectly complimented the Tyson Chicken Fries. (The dressing tasted like one of my favorite salad dressings at Cheesecake Factory.)  In fact, if you wanted to make the dressing and use it as a dip for the chicken fries without the salad, that would work too.

I was really excited to see the meal that I was able to create. I would eat this once a day – it was just that good.

I would buy Tyson Chicken Fries again in a heartbeat. The sky is the limit when it comes to meals I could create showcasing these Tyson Chicken Fries. I could create chicken salads with blue cheese dressing, chicken salads with ranch dressing, Asian chicken salads, Chicken Wraps, etc etc.  Have you tried Tyson Chicken Fries? Have you made any fun meals with them? I would love to hear!
