I’m taking a short break from all things Christmas related to talk about some serious stuff, football + food! Yup, serious stuff. Sunday is football. When I think of football Sunday, I think of tailgating, barbecues and tasty [not-so-good for you] food. Game day food usually isn’t the healthiest, but today I’m sharing a dish that won’t leave you feeling guilty afterwards, BBQ Chicken + Brussel Sprout salad!
Last weekend, while shopping at Safeway I picked up my go-to always fresh Foster Farms Fresh & Natural Chicken and Stubb’s chicken marinade. We LOVE Stubb’s BBQ sauce and marinades! Other than homemade it’s the only BBQ sauce and marinade we buy — one because it tastes good and two because it’s free of high-frustose corn syrup!
Here’s the thing, you can’t just eat chicken! I’m a big fan of salads and with brussels sprout in season I figured it would make the perfect side dish. The salad it super easy to make. Making ahead allows for more football watching. Don’t worry it won’t become soggy which also means it’s a great side dish for tailgating! #winning.

Mmmmm…. that sounds like a delicious bottle of marinade and it's great that there's no corn syrup. I swear it's becoming hard to find anything without corn syrup these days :S
Looks like an awesome salad! I love brussel sprouts!
Interesting turntable..I know, that football is make people weary, and your taste recipes is exactly what they need. The chicken with fresh salad is appropriate way out after sport. I recommend you custom essay writing services, where you find a variety of dishes.
