Easy chicken salad

When you start with a 5 lb chicken you roast yourself that cost only $4.59 you can create many different dishes and save. For example this recipe will provide my husband and me four days worth of sandwiches for our lunches. Much better for you then pre package lunch meat and a lot less then deli lunch meat and the best part you are still left with 2 cups of shredded chicken to use for another dish.

3 cups cooked shredded chicken chopped small
½ cup light mayonnaise
¼ cup Dijon mustard
Zest of ½ lemons
2 celery stalks chopped fine
2 green onions chopped small
2 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
2 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro (optional)
Salt & pepper to taste
In a medium bowl mix all together and refrigerate until use.
