Most people who plant vegetable gardens in the spring have an overabundance of tomatoes and zucchini this time of year if you live in a region where there hasn't been a frost yet. Here’s a way to use up that one cooked chicken breast along with a tomato and a small zucchini.

Leftover Chicken Breast Salad

This recipe will make enough chicken salad for two portions when served with a side salad, or four sandwiches, or as an appetizer served on crackers for 6-8.

Ingredients:
one cooked, skinless chicken breast
one small zucchini
one small tomato
2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
salt and pepper

Cut the chicken into small chunks and process in a food processor until course. Place in a bowl.

Cut zucchini into chunks and process until course. Add to chicken.

Dice tomato. Add to chicken and zucchini. Fold in mayonnaise and sour cream. Salt and pepper to taste.
