Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup celery, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- Lettuce leaves for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine diced chicken, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, red onion, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly coated.
- Cut the top off each tomato and scoop out the pulp and seeds with a spoon, leaving a thick shell. Discard the pulp or reserve for another use.
- Invert the tomatoes on a paper towel to drain excess liquid for about 5 minutes.
- Spoon the chicken salad evenly into each tomato cavity, mounding slightly.
- Serve immediately on a bed of lettuce leaves, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips
- For best flavor, use rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken.
- If preparing ahead, stuff tomatoes just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- Garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for color.
