Busy Day Chicken Salad

Image


I'm sure it would aid digestion to sit down at the dining room table and ponder the petal configuration of the the gladiolus but somedays it's just not happening.  Needed to eat and wanted something quick and healthy so I looked in the fridge and. . .

leftover chicken white or dark
finely chopped celery
finely chopped onion
chopped apple
2 tbs cream fraiche (homemade mayo would also work wonderfully but I was out)
sea salt and black pepper
butter lettuce
a carrot for crunch!

Chop leftover chicken into bite size pieces, add the chopped veggies, apple, cream fraiche, s & p to taste and serve over lettuce leaves with carrot on side.

I did wrap them up before eating.  Get creative with what you put in your chicken salad, chopped nuts are also a great addition.
