Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings of 2 appetizers each

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Water
16 cherry tomatoes
2 Granny Smith apples

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup cooked chicken, diced
2/3 cup celery, diced
3 tablespoons cucumbers, peeled and diced
3 tablespoons French dressing (French Dressing (Not Catalina Style) or your own recipe)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
6 large tomatoes
salt, to taste
mayonnaise, for garnish (use a good quality, such as Hellmann's)

Steps:

  • Mix first four ingredients and chill at least 30 minutes; gently mix in 1/4 cup mayonnaise.
  • Wash and peel tomatoes; cut out blossom end and cut tomatoes from top to within a quarter inch of bottom, into 5 or 6 wedge-shaped sections.
  • Lightly salt and chill.
  • Pull wedges apart to resemble petals of a flower, place on chilled plates and fill with chicken salad; garnish with a small dollop of mayonnaise.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are brightly colored and free of blemishes. Gently squeeze the tomato to ensure it is firm, but not too hard.
  • Scoop out the tomato centers carefully: Use a sharp knife to cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch thick shell.
  • Make sure the chicken salad is well-seasoned: The chicken salad is the main filling for the tomatoes, so it's important to make sure it is flavorful. Use a variety of herbs and spices to taste, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Chill the stuffed tomatoes before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the tomatoes to firm up. Chill the tomatoes for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Chicken salad stuffed tomatoes are a delicious and refreshing appetizer or light lunch. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both healthy and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give chicken salad stuffed tomatoes a try!
