The great thing about this nutritious chicken salad is that it's versatile. Instead of orange juice and zest, you can use a lemon; instead of sunflower seeds, switch to pumpkin seeds or chopped pecans; instead of raisins, use dried cranberries; instead of fresh basil, choose fresh tarragon, dill, or mint (or a combo); and you can add a teaspoon of honey mustard if you want to give the mixture more of a kick!
Ingredients
One 10-ounce box Backyard Farms Cocktail Tomatoes (8 to 10 small tomatoes)
1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken breast (roasted or rotisserie)
2 tablespoons golden raisins
1 tablespoon roasted, salted sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons 2%-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the top off of each tomato, keeping the stem intact, and set aside. Carefully scoop out the tomato pulp and seeds with a melon baller. Place the tomatoes upside down on a paper towel for a few minutes to drain excess liquid.
Place the chicken, raisins, sunflower seeds, yogurt, basil, orange juice, and orange zest in a bowl and mix until well combined. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt and pepper inside the hollowed-out tomatoes. Scoop a generous tablespoon of the chicken mixture into each tomato. Top with the stem "hats" and serve. (When it's time to eat, remove the "hats," set them aside, and enjoy the stuffed tomatoes!)
