Chicken Salad Recipies

Chicken Salad has become a huge staple of my diet since bread went out the window. I usually replace my mayo with half mayo half plain greek yogurt and sometimes cottage cheese just to cut the fat of full mayo. How do you make your chicken salad??

I make my tuna and chicken salad the same way:

Can or pouch of chicken or tuna

Hard boiled eggs

Dab of mustard

1 wedge laughing cow light cheese (in place of mayo)

Salt and pepper or other seasonings

Sometimes I add dill pickle relish or chopped apples

Love the idea of using the laughing cow cheese in place of the mayo. I'm going to try that! Thanks for sharing!

chicken salad

My friends and family love this and have no idea it is good for them

Boiled and cooled chicken either cut into chunks or shredded

Fage 0 greek yogurt (as little or as much as you want for desired creaminess)

Dried cherries

Walnuts

Finely chopped celery

Curry poweder (the mild yellow kind to taste)

Mix all together and let it sit for a few hours. You many need to add more yogurt as the chicken and cherries absorbs it

It is soooo good! Hope you enjoy!

When I'm too lazy to make my own, I get Trader Joe's rosemary apricot almond chicken salad. It's not too much of a nutritional hit. I run it through the food processor to cut down the big chunks and it's easier to eat. My band is really tight and i notoriously don't chew enough.

I bake my chicken breast with the skin on and some seasonings- then remove the skin and shred, add 1/2 lite mayo and lite sour cream, some craisens, pecans, dill weed, celery salt and celery. The craisens do bleed purple color after a while- but it taste great. You may want to buy the individual bags of craisens and add them that morning before you eat it for lunch.

I also make a standard salad, chicken, lite mayo, celery salt, celery, pickle relish, onion, egg and salt and pepper.

I am on mushies still...but I found a really easy (and easy to mush) recipie...I use 2 gerber toddler chicken sticks...(they are already really soft) mush up one hard bolied egg, 1/2 teaspoon on low fat mayo and a little relish...easy and good....my son even tried it and wanted a sandwich of it!!

That sounds great Subie66! I am going to try it.
