Chicken Salad with Chili Powder

 

While my crustless quiche was baking this past Sunday morning I decided to make some lunch to last for several days too.  Opened my cupboard and came up with the following recipe for a different flavor to my chicken salad.  I can serve it over lettuce or baby spinach, or eat it as is, or stuff a tomato with it.

Ingredients:

• Two 12.5 oz. cans chicken (I buy a 6 pack of these from Costco)
• ¾ cup chopped celery
• 1 sweet red pepper chopped
• 2 tablespoons LITE mayonnaise
• 4 tablespoons Bolthouse lite ranch dressing
• About 1 tablespoon chili powder (or to taste)

Directions:

1. Pour both cans of chicken into a colander and drain
2. Rinse lightly with cold water to get some of the sodium out
3. Place chicken in a medium bowl and separate with a fork
4. Add all other ingredients and stir well
