Chicken Salad version 2.0

Do you prepare meals for the week on Sunday/Monday? I am not one to prepare all our meals for the week-I actually enjoy cooking and love making fresh meals for us every night but I like making batches of healthy fast quick meals to have in the fridge to eat on and snack on during the week. Makes it a lot easier to eat healthy when you have things ready to eat.
Chicken and tuna salad is one of those things.
I know I made chicken salad last week but this week I made a different version.
I took a shortcut and used a store bought roasted chicken
Deboned, deskinned and chopped it up
Chopped sweet onion and sweet bellpeppers in red, orange and yellow and chopped italian parsley
Seasoned with Tony's and one spoon of olive oil mayo

Chicken Salad

So today for lunch, I used the leftover roasted chicken to make chicken salad. I make several versions of chicken salad. Lately, I have been OBSESSED with the chicken salad from Zoe's kitchen so I tried making their version.
I put all my leftover de-boned, de-skinned roasted chicken, added 2 stalks of celery and one spoonful of olive oil trader joe's mayonaise and sprinkled Tony's (all purpose seasoning) into my food processor. Pulsed.
Ate it lettuce wrap style with Boston lettuce and cherry tomatoes.
I didn't plan for the girls to eat this with me and made them something else (next post) but Giuliana LOVED it. It was very smooth since I had put it in the food processor so it was easy for her to eat. Would make for good sandwiches for them, but I just fed it to Giuliana with a spoon!
I had about half the chicken left and it made a good amount of chicken salad, probably a pint!
