This chicken salad is so tasty and high in protein. I take this to work and come home with an empty bowl. Great on a bed of lettuce or if you have a few calories to spare, it is very good on a croissant roll.

Pizza is one of my favorite foods, and the sweet sauce at Papa John's is my all-time favorite. My viewpoint is, if you're going to make it at home, don't make it "just as good," make it better! So I'm remaking a medium Papa John's pie with pineapple, onion and bacon(BACON!!!). Fresh homemade sauce and premium ingredients make this recipe more than worth the calories, and still trimmer than the fast food original!
