What do you do with leftover chicken? Make chicken salad, which I learned upstate at the 'Let 'Em Ins' several years ago. And what a valuable lesson! Especially during the Summer grill-happy months when it seems like I grill chicken thighs a couple times a week. I almost always have 1 or 2 pieces of chicken left over, and I can use it to whip up an easy chicken salad for a lunch time sandwich. Cucumber and mayonnaise, along with the leftover chicken, make up the bulk of the recipe, so after those 3 main things you can generally make do with whatever you have on hand. Simply omit or substitute as you like.
Ingredients
- 2 leftover grilled chicken thighs
- 1/4 Cup mayo
- 1/2 Cup diced cucumber (seedless) (or celery)
- 1 Tablespoon tangy horseradish
- 1/2 Tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1/2 an avocado
Mix ingredients to make the chicken salad. I like to eat it on a kaiser roll with sliced cucumber. This yields 2-3 sandwiches
