Selection with chips, called "basket meals” (7)

I believe the answer is:

picnics

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'meals' is the definition.
(picnic is a kind of meal)

'selection with chips called basket' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'chips' could be 'ics' (Integrated Circuits) and 'ics' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for picnics that I've seen is " Al-fresco repasts".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
