Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Method
 

  1. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble.
