I am always trying to find new preparations using leftovers. I find that the more we are creative with our leftovers, the less food we waste. Sometimes we have leftover chicken from a meal we made and have to use it as not to waste food. While you could make chicken salad with your leftover chicken, you could also use it as a filling. Combine your leftover chicken with fried onions, blue cheese, and tomatoes to fill raw whole tomatoes as a unique meal option.
Ingredients:
two whole tomatoes
precooked chicken breast, diced
blue cheese crumbles
1/3 cup chopped onions
1 tablespoon canola oil
salt
pepper
Method:
Cut the tops off the tomatoes. Dice the tops and reserve for the filling. Cut around the pulp of the tomato to create a cavity for stuffing. In a small frying pan, fry the chopped onions using one tablespoon of canola oil. Once the onions have turned a golden brown, season with salt and pepper. Strain the onions from the hot oil. In a small mixing bowl, combine the diced precooked chicken, diced tomato, blue cheese crumbles, and the fried onions. Stuff the chicken mixture into the tomatoes. The tomatoes are now ready to be serve as a light meal accompanied by a salad.
