Easy Chicken Salad Lettuce Boats

Sorry, no photo for this one, folks. I ate them before I could take a picture. Here is another quick, easy, tasty dish to have as a light lunch, quick snack or even part of supper. 

Ingredients

Romain lettuce (whole leaves, rinsed, dried and trimmed), approx. 3/person
1 can chicken breast (or freshly cooked chicken breast cut into cubes)
1 small onion, diced
1 stock celery, diced
Mayo or Miracle Whip, amount based on your preferences
Fresh ground black pepper

Mix chicken, onion, celery, and mayo/MW in a bowl. Put mixture into lettuce leaves. Serve immediately. 

Note: the chicken salad can be refrigerated for a day if you want to make it the night before then assemble into lettuce before eating.

Variation: tuna instead of chicken or a different salad combination all together (lemon juice, olive oil, pepper, and chopped up sun-dried tomatoes for example)

Thoughts: I don't know why, but for some reason I enjoy macaroni and cheese with my chicken salad or tuna salad sandwiches. They just seem to go together very well.  Make a batch of macaroni and cheese, add a side of fruit and you've got yourself a full meal!
