This recipe is very affordable to make, especially if you use store-bought mayonnaise and tuna. It's a great way to feed a crowd without breaking the bank.

I made this recipe with grilled chicken instead of poached chicken, and it was still delicious. I also used low-fat mayonnaise in the tuna sauce to make it a bit healthier. It was a great meal that I felt good about eating.

This chicken tonnato recipe is a keeper! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the tuna sauce was creamy and tangy. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a hit with my family.
