Smoked Chicken Salad with Blueberries, Bacon & Pecans

I’ve been making this recipe for as long as I can remember! Years ago when I had a catering business, it was one of my most popular things to serve! I would rent a huge grill and smoke hundreds of chicken breasts at a time for parties and it was always a big hit! I also have a small stovetop smoker that holds about 10 chicken breasts and I always make extra because this chicken is great in everything from salads like this one to casseroles to quesadillas! Keep scrolling for this recipe and more of my favorites for July 4th!

Roasted Pepper & Burrata Pasta Salad

This recipe for Roasted Pepper & Burrata Pasta Salad is one of my favorite recipes to make in summer! It really delicious and so pretty served in a big wooden bowl. Get the recipe here!

Blueberry Dessert

This recipe for Blueberry Dessert is one my mom made often when I was a child. It’s delicious, easy to make, can be made ahead and it’s a real crowd pleaser. One of the ingredients in this dessert is Dream Whip and I had a hard time finding it at our grocery store, but found it on Amazon here. Get the recipe here!

I would add some warm crusty bread to this menu, or if you want something a little heartier and another meat option, you can’t go wrong with this recipe for Ultimate Cheeseburger Sliders.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this post and I would love to know if you make any of these recipes for your July 4th celebration!

Thanks so much for reading today!
