Ingredients

3 cups chicken cooked and shredded (I love to use rotisserie chicken)
1 cup celery chopped
1/4 cup green onion chopped
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
8 tomatoes large, ripe

Instructions

To Make the Chicken Salad

In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, celery, green onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Stir until combined well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

To make Stuffed Tomatoes

Using a sharp knife, cut the top of large, ripe tomatoes (about 1" down from top) and carefully remove all tomato pulp. Pat the inside of the tomato dry with a paper towel.
Use a scooper or large spoon to fill the tomatoes (about 1/2 cup) with the cold chicken salad.
Garnish with your favorite toppings like crumbled bacon, chopped green onion, chives, everything bagel seasoning, parsley, basil, thyme, etc. Serve on a bed of lettuce and enjoy!

Notes

In addition to chicken salad, you can recreate the idea with your own favorite cold salad (like tuna, egg, etc). This chicken salad recipe is also great on sandwiches and wraps!
