I love chicken salad. I also enjoy chicken club sandwiches, made with chicken, bacon and cheese. I am a big fan of tomatoes, they are one of my favorites. I like them as is, in things and on things. And I also like them stuffed. I decided to try stuffing some tomatoes with some of the ingredients used to make that chicken club I mentioned. It didn’t take too long to make them and they were a really tasty meal. Hubby loved them. I loved them. My youngest was even able to eat them because they were gluten-free. Here’s how I made them.
Bacon Chicken Salad Stuffed Tomatoes
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large hot house tomatoes
- 1 cups cooked chicken breast (I used Perdue Short Cuts Italian)
- 1/2 cup crumbled bacon
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup onion
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the tops off of the tomatoes and scoop out the insides, leaving all walls and the bottom intact.
Turn tomatoes upside down to drain.
In a medium sized bowl, combine the chicken, crumbled bacon, onion, black pepper and mayo and mix well.
Fill the empty tomatoes with the chicken mixture.
Serve immediately.

Great idea for carb watchers.
I usually see tomatoes and peppers stuffed with ground beef- which is not on my diet. This is a great alternative! Thanks for the yummy recipe!
These look so colorful and delicious all at the same time. I think I’ll be trying these for lunch this week! 🙂
Oh these look fantastic! I am low carb these days so this is a great option!
Who would have thought to hollow out a tomato and use it like a bowl? What a clever dish
This sounds so yummy!! Who doesn’t love bacon and chicken together. YUMM!
I’ve never thought to do chicken in a stuffed tomato. This is such a great idea!
This is brilliant! I am totally trying these. My family will love them .
That looks so good! I’ve been seeing lots of stuffed tomato recipes lately, and this is one of the best ones. Bookmarking for when my tomato plants start making! =D

I have heard of stuffed peppers before, but stuffed tomatoes? That’s real original. I think I will try this recipe someday soon.
Yum, yum, and yum! I never thought of adding bacon to chicken salad! I bet it’s delicious! Serving them in a tomato is a great idea too! My daughter just saw the picture and asked if I would make them for dinner tomorrow night!
I am a huge fan of stuffed tomatoes. We love them with tuna salad as well.
I must admit I am not a super big tomato fan, but they are growing on me. I may have to try this at least once as it looks delicious!

Yum! We have usually get a lot of tomatoes in our garden and this would be something new to try.
I would like to do this but I am having a hard time finding huge tomatoes, I wonder if I can use bell peppers instead.
This looks like a yummy recipe.
My family is interested especially since we are trying to reduce our breads/pasta in our meals.
Lunch gets kind of boring when it’s just me at home. This sounds delightful and so much yummier than what I had planned.
