Loading ...Notes:
Great use for leftover chicken. The grocery store rotisserie chicken works great for this !
Be creative and add your own additions with what you have on hand. Just keep track of the carbs you are adding in.
Servings: depends
Ingredients:
~Leftover chicken. Chopped or shredded. (Canned chicken also works)
~Mayo (add a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste)
~Onions. Chopped.
~Green onions. Sliced small.
~Celery. Chopped small.
~small Dill pickle. Chopped.
~Pecans. Roughly chopped. (Sliced or slivered Almonds is also yummy)
~Large leaf lettuce (Romaine, Green leaf, Red leaf,etc.)
+(My husband also likes chopped black olives and cheese added to his mixture. Be adventurous !)
Directions:
Mix chicken, mayo & seasonings with your additional ingredients.
The amount of chicken meat you have to use will determine the amount of goodies you add in. I use a little of each item. The celery and dill pickle are for texture. The green onions will give it a wonderful flavor. I like onions, so I add chopped yellow onions for flavor and texture (that can be up to you).
The pecans are a wonderful touch! It adds a sense of richness and makes you feel like you must be cheating! Great for texture and flavor.
~Mix all ingredients together and put in refrigerator for a while, to let all the flavors meld.
~When you are ready, take your bunch of lettuce and pull off full leaves. Take a couple of scoops of chicken salad and place in middle of leaf. Fold up the end of the lettuce, fold over the sides (it should look like a skinny burrito), and viola! -Yummy Goodness.
