Tomato Cups with Chicken Salad
Hi y’all from the Hungry Southern Belle house! It’s football season and that means tailgating!!! We’ve been busy traveling for the games but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been testing out new recipes in the kitchen. This is one of my favorites from the season so far! It’s perfect for tailgating – hearty for those looking for something with substance but healthy for those watching their waistlines. It would also be a great dish for a picnic, cocktail party, baby or bridal shower. Shredded chicken salad prepared with fresh herbs a perfect finger good served up in tomato cups. Enjoy y’all!!!
