CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE



A protein packed chicken salad is a great meal! You can throw it in a low carb wrap, you can eat it plain, or even throw it on a bed of lettuce if you are trying to add extra greens to your day!

Traditional chicken salad is full of mayo and sugar, but by tweaking the ingredients a bit you can get a healthy alternative that still tastes great!
For this recipe I used one of those pre-cooked rotisserie chickens, this was a time saver for me, you could of course roast your own chicken.  This is simply a time saver and it tastes great!


Prep Time: 20 Minutes      Cook Time: 0
Makes 3 Servings

Ingredients:
9 oz Rotisserie Chicken
1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Cup Red seedless Grapes
1/4 Cup Miracle Whip Lite
2 Tbsp Dried Cranberries
1 Tbsp Pecans
3 or 4 Celery stalks

Directions:
1. Remove skin and shred chicken breast with fork while still warm.  (I didn't use the dark meat, but of course you could) I also "chopped" the chicken to ensure the shreds would be small.
2. Let chicken cool
3. While cooling chop the grapes and celery to desired size (I like them small)
4. When chicken is cool add Greek yogurt and miracle whip. Mix well with wooden spoon
5. Add nuts & fruit
6. Refrigerate until ready to eat
