chicken salad


Whenever I make homemade chicken stock, I find myself with lots of leftover chicken. Of course I love adding it back to the soup but when I just need the stock, I remove the chicken and repurpose it for another meal. I thought the best way to use it would be in a chicken salad. Instead of serving it on toasted bread (which is amazing) I put mine in Boston lettuce cups that I picked up from the farmers market. It was the perfect quick and easy lunch!
