Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large ripe tomatoes
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 stalk Celery stalk (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cups Red onion (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 pieces Optional: Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Using a sharp knife, cut off the tops of the tomatoes and carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp using a spoon, creating a hollow cavity without puncturing the sides. Set the hollowed tomatoes aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the ingredients are evenly mixed and the chicken salad is creamy.
Taste the chicken salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Carefully spoon the chicken salad mixture into the hollowed tomatoes, packing it gently but fully. Level the top of the filling for a tidy presentation.
If desired, place a lettuce leaf on a serving plate as a base and set the stuffed tomato on top for added color and texture.
Serve immediately as a refreshing meal or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
