Classic Chicken Salad


Classic Chicken Salad

I always have leftovers in my fridge and I’m always trying to come up with a new way to work them, enter my leftover Roasted Chicken (yum!). Beyond microwaving it there has to be a way to enjoy this delicious feast in a brand new way. Hey wait a minute, there is! Healthy Chicken Salad. There absolutely is a reason this is a classic, although I have re-vamped it a little!

Serves 4

1 tbsp light mayonnaise

1 tbsp fat free sour cream (or yogurt)

1 tsp grainy dijon mustard

The juice of a ¼ lemon (about a tsp)

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

2 Radishes, diced

1 Green onion (scallion), sliced

1 Cup cooked skinless chicken, chopped

Whisk together the mayo, sour cream, grainy Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper; mix well.

Fold in the radish, green onion and chicken pieces.

Taste and adjust seasoning.

Serve on your favourite lettuce or bread.

Notes:

  1. You can use cooked chicken breasts (1 large or 2 small) here.
  2. Feel free to switch up the veggies and mustard to make it your own.
  3. Fresh herbs are always welcome!
