DUE TO BEING SICK I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE A TRIP TO THE FM THIS WEEK.

As a new food blogger I love finding food blogs with yummy in your tummy food. One thing I've noticed is a lot of bloggers spotlight their local farmers market. To me being from the South it's important to eat fresh from the farm veggies and fruits.

Every Friday I am going to host a link up party so ya'll can link up your farmers market finds and recipes.

I only have 4 rules:

1. Follow Granny's Down Home Southern Cooking via GFC
2. Link up your farmers market finds and recipes only please
3. Place the button on your site or post
4. Show other bloggers some comment love

Now let's party ya'll!

Sweet Southern Berry Berry Chicken Salad

It's berry season in the South ya'll!  With all those mouth watering, yummy in the tummy berries just bursting with juicy flavor I couldn't wait to try a new recipe.

For this recipe I use all the summer berries. I combine blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries with spring mix and chicken breast to create a quick and easy summer salad.


Ingredients:
1 small  pkg. spring mix-
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup fresh blackberries
1/4 cup fresh strawberries, quartered
1-2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 1/2 cup raspberry vinaigrette

Directions:
Rinse spring mix and berries before using.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees

Marinate chicken breasts in 1 cup raspberry vinaigrette about 2-3 hours in plastic zipper bag. Discard marinate before cooking

Bake marinated chicken in oven until juice runs clear. About 25-30 minutes.
While chicken is baking , combine berries and spring mix in serving bowl. Add 1/2 cup raspberry vinaigrette, toss well.
Place chicken breasts in refrigerator until cool enough to work with. Chop into bite size pieces, add to salad mixture, sprinkle a little ground pepper to taste.

Enjoy this cool, refreshing salad with a tall glass of sweet iced tea and your tummy will be saying yummy ya'll.
