I’ve been on a baking kick lately, but haven’t taken photos of the process. I do have a couple of baking stories. This one is about Costco’s chicken bake.
The Costco food court is a pretty good deal, but their chicken bake is my favorite. It’s a giant log of chicken-bacon filling inside pizza dough, held together with Caesar salad dressing. when Lloyd and I go to Costco, we get one and split it.
aeWell, the internet says you can make a pretty good copycat recipe, so I made some dough, cut up some chicken and bacon, used parmesan cheese (because that’s what I had), and the Caesar salad dressing that I couldn’t believe was in the fridge. Who uses that stuff anyway?
I rolled it up, sprinkled cheese on it and popped it in the oven. Then I looked at that bottle of dressing.
It expired in 2021.
I exclaimed over the grossness, but we ate it anyway. It was pretty good. I’ve never had Caesar dressing on its own, so I am hoping the tanginess is part of the original flavor, not the result of being expired for two years.
(We survived, and it was actually pretty good.)
It sounds delicious, even with expired salad dressing.
Ha! You’re brave. Expired food makes me more nervous than it should. There’s not really any reason for that… It’s not like I’ve ever had serious food poisoning. Or maybe I’ve never had serious food poisoning because expired food makes me more nervous than it should…. interesting…
