Chicken & Gorgonzola Stuffed Tomato

Lunch-time in the summer!

 Chicken & Gorgonzola

 Stuffed Tomato

 

A refreshing summer dish combining the saltiness of Gorgonzola with the sweetness of grapes.






























Ingredients

2 Large chicken breast ( baked and chopped)
1/2 Cup of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1/3 Cup walnuts  roughly chopped 
 20 -24 red grapes halved
1/2 low fat mayo
2 -TBL   fresh chopped basil ( or parsley would work)
1 - TBL  Milk
 Salt & Pepper optional
1 Medium tomato
Romaine lettuce


Directions
Prepare chicken salad mixture by combining  everything but the lettuce and tomato.   Mix well.  Chop enough  romaine lettuce to cover bottom of your bowl. (For a little more flavor  I lightly  sprinkled the romaine with some raspberry vinaigrette dressing.)  Next slice tomato into sections and place on top of bed of lettuce. When cutting the tomato be careful to not cut all the way through the tomato, it will then create a nice "bowl" for you. 



Add the chicken salad to the center of the tomato and ENJOY! 


When I made  the chicken salad recipe I doubled it  and used the leftovers for a fruity chicken and Gorgonzola salad.  Again,  a very nice refreshing flavor and a great way to use summer produce and leftovers.  Find this recipe on the blog.
