Misty's Infused Chicken Salad

BY CHEF MISTY LOWNIK

This is a simple recipe, very old school. I have people tell me they hate chicken salad, but love mine. And I also have a friend who requests this every year on her birthday day instead of sweets.

INGREDIENTS: 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts 6-8 celery stalks finely chopped 1/2 cup sweet relish 1/4 cup mustard 2 cups mayo (more or less depending on your preference) Salt and pepper to taste (I like a generous amount of both in this recipe) 4 tbsp garlic seasoning 1 tsp infused olive oil (very low dose is recommend as you will eat a lot of this)

DIRECTIONS: Boil chicken in a big pot with the garlic seasoning for 45 minutes to an hour. Drain and let cool for about 20 minutes, then shred and finely chop the boiled chicken . Put chicken into a large bowl. Mix the infused olive oil into the mayo and then add that and the rest of the ingredients into the chicken, folding and mixing until incorporated . Cover and refrigerate for up to 10 days. This is amazing on grilled sourdough or a croissant with butter lettuce, pickles and tomatoes. Enjoy!

Misty’s passion is making edibles that actually taste amazing and work in collaboration with your own body’s endocannabinoid system to ensure that the medicine gets to where it’s needed. And let’s face it, when your medicine tastes better than your “regular” food, it’s a bonus. It’s about time that patients get to eat great food without sacrificing taste or quality. Misty suffers from an invisible illness, fibromyalgia, and she can tell you first-hand how important edibles (and cannabis in general) can be in helping you to live an “actual life”.

Edibles are Misty’s life, joy, and passion and one of her goals is to tear down the stigmas associated with cannabis and to take back the rights to a plant that has proven its healing abilities for centuries.
