Chicken salad

Who puts left overs in the refrigerator and  ends up throwing it away because you don't want to eat the same thing twice??  Well today I decided to make something different with my left over grilled chicken breast.   I made the best chicken salad!!  


Here is a recap of my recipe:

1 1/2 grilled chicken breast
1 single serving size of plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon of sunflower nuts
1 celery stalk finely chopped
1/4 of small green apple finely chopped
2 tablespoons of craisins (I usually cut up 1/2 cup red grapes but I was out)
Dash of sea salt and pepper 
1 tablespoon of chopped pecans




Cut up chicken in small chunks and throw it in a food processor with the yogurt and pulse till its blended. Mix it in a bowl with all other ingredients and viola!!  

You can put it over a bed of lettuce, add it to some celery sticks or eat it on some Ezekiel bread.  Now I have something different with my left over chicken.  Can't wait for lunch tomorrow!

  2. I've grown up eating this chicken salad with homemade fresh yogurt but we used toasted pecans as that was more available to us than sunflower seeds 65 years ago! Try this using leftover grilled tuna only omit the apple and craisins and add fresh chopped parsley and fresh tarragon!!! Yum.
