Broccoli Chicken Salad

Excellent way to use up leftover chicken and other ingredients we often have in the kitchen. Last night I wanted to use up broccoli stems and had some cubed canned chicken a neighbor gave me and I actually liked using the stems more than the florets ;-) I sliced the stems in a food processor.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
• 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets cut in bite size pieces (or very thinly sliced stems)
• 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
• 2 Tbsp. sunflower kernels, salted or unsalted
• 2 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled if desired
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

Directions:

Combine the first five ingredients in a bowl.

Combine the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar in a small bowl and add to chicken mixture. Toss well, cover and refrigerate until serving.
