Knock-Off Chicken Salad

A celebrity would NEVER be caught dead with knock-off designer goods. But what about knock-off food?


Leftovers are the greatest form of knock-offs, and a cooks best friend. You slave over the grill for a delicious meal, only for it to be enjoyed once? FALSE.

Since the 4th festivities are over, I decided to look in my kitchen to see what was left from the BBQ.

I found an abundance of chicken, and created the most delicious left-over lunch that is sure to rock your taste buds.

Knock- Off Chicken Salad

You will need:
left over BBQ chicken
2 celery stalks chopped
1/2 red onion chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 tbsp country Dijon mustard (this one has the seeds)
2 tbsp lite mayo
1 granny smith apple diced
1/3 cup walnuts
1/2 cup shredded carrots

Start out by shredding the left over chicken with your hands. Mix all ingredients with the shredded chicken. You can add more mayo if you choose. It's all about how you like it!



AND...for another chicken knock-off, try shredding the meat and adding store bought fajita mix with salsa. Your guests taste buds will be seeing fireworks days after the 4th.
