This is the sort of thing I throw together when I have leftover chicken breast and don’t feel like working too hard for lunch. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 large 12 Minute Juicy Perfect Chicken Breast (6-8 ounces)
- 1 1/2 tbsp mayo (I use Kewpie or Sir Kensington’s)
- 1/2 tbsp heavy cream
- 5 roasted salted almonds
- 5 romaine leaves (or lettuce cups of choice – boston bib, endive, etc.)
- 1 tsp chives (about 2 long stems)
Tools
Instructions
- Cut your chicken into 1/2 inch cubes and place in mixing bowl.
- Add your mayo and heavy cream and toss until well coated and creamy.
- Carefully crush your almonds and finely dice your chives.
- Prepare your lettuce cups. Spoon chicken onto the lettuce and top with crushed almonds and chives. Enjoy!
