Chicken, Chickpea, and Pesto Salad | Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

What do you usually do with leftover chicken? This salad is one of my favorite ways to polish it off. I mix some chicken with celery, English cucumber, and canned chickpeas; squeeze a little lemon juice on it; then toss it with an easy homemade pesto made with 3 cups basil, 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts, a clove of garlic, salt, olive oil, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan — It makes plenty so you can have extra pesto on hand.

Sarah’s Tip of the Day:
I’m using the extra chicken from yesterday’s Every-Week Roast Chicken, but you can just as easily use store-bought rotisserie chicken or poach up some chicken breasts. Watch my video to see how easily the pesto and the salad come together. Let me know what you think!
