This is an all in one chicken salad meal, made from scratch, that’s very cool and summery. I don’t usually make my own croutons but you can if you’re inspired to. I like it after it sits for a day and the croutons soften.
1 bag croutons (or make your own, about 1 1/2 cups)
3 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled/chopped)
1 1/2 lbs chicken breast
1/2 an onion, sliced
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
2 green onions, sliced
1/3 cup mayo
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
Juice of half a lemon
Directions
1. Poach the chicken breast by putting it in a pot with water to cover, add 5-10 peppercorns, some slices of onion, salt to taste, and a splash of white wine if you have it. Bring to a boil the reduce heat to simmer for about 20 minutes. Let the chicken cool then dice into bite sized cubes.
2. Mix the mayo, basil, and lemon juice together in a small bowl.
3. Combine everything in a large bowl, then serve.
