Has anybody out there ever been invited to a potluck and then told to bring a "main dish" for the event? Main dish is always the hardest one to bring. You can easily toss together a pasta salad for a side dish or whip up something simple for a dessert, but the main dish takes a little more thought, a little more time, and a little more creativity.
We had a potluck at school on our first week back, and I was assigned the dreaded main dish. Since I love looking for recipes, I wasn't too upset. I was even less upset when I found this recipe for Cherry Chicken Salad. It was super easy and very delicious. I found some buttery, miniature croissants at the grocery store to serve with the chicken salad, and all was good.
