Welcome, Sunday! My favorite day of the week! Until 5:00 pm rolls around and I remember that Monday is only a few hours away… then, Sunday, I don’t like you as much. Thorry. But, tomorrow most of us are off, so I will like you for an added few hours!
Hey, Friends! What’s going on?! How’s your weekend going?
My weekend would be WAY better if this weather would just behave. Barely 60 degrees and it’s almost June. Unheard of! And it better not rain on Memorial Day! I seriously don’t feel like moving my grill inside. No, I don’t have a plan B. If it rains, the grill is coming with me. Inside.
The only thing I have already prepared are these Chunky Chicken Salad Cups. They are sittin’ pretty in the fridge ready to be devoured. I’m surprised my husband hasn’t attacked them, yet. He always does. I guess this time he really listened. YAY for hubby!
You know how I love appetizers, right? You didn’t know?! Oh gurrrl, I looove me some apps. I could live on ’em! I’m especially fond of those appetizers that can be made with leftovers. Few years back I made this particular Chicken Salad with some leftover chicken breasts. For some odd reason, chicken, pickles, mushrooms, and sour cream sounded SO good to me, and no, I wasn’t pregnant. But, I am so glad I did go with the idea because this salad is heavenly! It’s creamy, it’s crunchy, and incredibly tasty.
In fact, when I go to a BBQ, this is the salad that I am asked to bring 90% of the time. The other 10% is reserved for dessert.
If you have some time, make it for your BBQ party! I’m pretty sure you’ll love it! I am also sharing this recipe with the uber-talented Kim from A Night Owl Blog.
BUT, before you do that, you need to enter this awesome Giveaway for a $100.00 Gift Card to YOUR CHOICE of World Market, Target, Homegoods or Anthropologie! GOOD LUCK! GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED!

[…] Make these Chunky Chicken Salad Cups that are absolutely perfect for an easy, cold recipe. […]
I love these wonton cups! Brilliant!
What a fun idea and easier way to feed a crowd!
Love that you served it in cups! Brilliant!
I love how easy this recipe is and how you use sour cream instead of tons of mayo! I love my chicken salad with sour cream, too!
Can you make the wonton cups a day ahead of time and then fill the day of party?
Can anyone tell me if the wonton cups get soggy with the chicken salad in them? Thinking of making them for a get together tomorrow night, but it seems like if I made them ahead of time the cups would get soggy.
Hi Sue! If you leave the chicken salad inside for too long, the bottoms will definitely get a bit soggy. If possible, I would just wait to fill the wonton cups with the chicken salad until it was a bit closer to serving time.
Thanks very much!
I love me some Target and I can’t wait to make this recipe!

I would go with anthropology.
I would pick Homegoods or Target. Either are my favorites.
Homegoods would be amazing to be honest!
I would pick Target! Love that place!
If I won I would choose Target:)
I have never been to world market so perhaps winning would give me a chance to check them out.
I would choose target.
Target
I could find something great in any of those stores, but Target is the closest to me!
I’m broke, so wherever I can get the most bang for my buck is where I’d choose!
Probably Target, since I could get ice cream *or* an ice-cream maker, depending on how lazy I feel when I win! 😀
Just teasing. I’ve already got the $100 planned out – I need a nice heavy-bottomed soup pot to replace the thin hand-me-down I’m using!
Thanks for the chance!
Sounds like you have a plan!! 😉 GOOD LUCK!!!
Target! 🙂
Target! It has everything!
World Market!!!
If I chose Target I would probably buy boring things like laundry soap and awesome sprinkles. Wait, what?
Still World Market though.
Sometimes they have awesome sprinkles, too.
I love World Market! And Target…and Anthro…and HomeGoods! It’s a good thing I can’t enter my own giveaways! 😉

This is a tough choice. Either Homegoods because a coffee table is all that’s keeping me from having a complete living room or Target because there’s nothing you can’t get at Target!
Such a tough choice! It’s between Target and World Market.
I would pick Target! My favorite store! 🙂

Wonderful use of leftover chicken and wonton skins. 🙂 I’ve only used the wontons as shells to deliver caramelized apple and lemon curd.

Wow this is an amazing giveaway! Great idea!
