Sonoma Chicken Coop Almaden The Best Food Joint

I have been going to Sonoma Chicken Coop since it opened in 2002 and have probable had at least a couple of hundred Chicken Coop Salads. Why so many salads? For one they taste really good, with the avocado, goat cheese and rotisserie chicken. Also, I don’t feel like a martyr when my real motive is trying to watch my weight and be healthy at the same time. For me the Chicken Cobb salad is the most satisfying salad and enough to make you full, but not stuffed.

I also really like the dressing on the chicken walnut salad; it is not too heavy but at the same time very satisfying. The coop also makes a tropical fruit salad that is very tasty and is something that is asked for a lot especially when we cater outside; it is requested as a side dish to compliment an entrée. It just seems to balance a full meal and is great with a nice Chardonnay wine.

On rare occasions the best almaden restaurant Coop will fry chicken (always a special) and when we do it is fried lightly and not over breaded, this is usually served with mashed potatoes and fresh string beans and our own home-made bread. Sometimes it is good to be bad, and we are no exception.
