Smoked Chicken Salad Tomato Surprise

One ear of fresh corn yields about 3/4 cups of kernels, so use 2 ears. A teaspoon is the best tool for scooping out the pulp of the tomato without breaking it.

2 whole smoked chicken breasts (about 12 oz. each), skinned and cut into small cubes
7 large ripe tomatoes
2 cups torn Bib lettuce leaves, plus 6 whole leaves
1 cup cooked corn kernels
1/2 cup reduced calorie mayonnaise
zest and juice of 1 lemon
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Place the chicken cubes in a large bowl. Seed and dice one of the tomatoes and add it to the chicken along with the torn lettuce and the corn. Prepare dressing: combine mayonnaise with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of the zest. Fold into chicken salad. Season with salt and pepper. Cut a thin slice off the bottoms of the remaining 6 tomatoes so that they stand upright. Next, slice off the tops. Using a teaspoon, scoop out all of the pulp, leaving the walls thick enough to hold the salad. Fill tomatoes with chicken salad and serve each in the center of a dinner plate atop a lettuce leaf.
