I know it’s probably wrong for me to say I’m tired of BBQ, but I am. Don’t be mad at me I know summer has just started and that’s what we do down in Texas is smoke meat every weekend, but we you cook enough for dinners and lunches for the next week it gets old. Why do I torture myself and try to plan ahead I have no idea?!?! I’m trying to be creative and turn it into something else so that was choice for today’s post. I’ve used the chicken in grilled chicken salad and pasta so now it’s time for the chicken to shine once again. I took my mom’s basic chicken salad recipe and used some leftover smoked BBQ chicken and it turned out great. I forgot to buy grapes to toss in there, but you can feel free to add them if you like. I’m not a celery fan, so I added some lettuce to the sandwich to disguise the crunchiness of it instead of making 2 batches…….I don’t need to invent something else to use up never ending chicken salad into. 😛
Hope you enjoy!
