Chicken salad recipes anyone?



Recommended Posts

Just made this after getting this great champagne dill mustard from whole foods:

4 oz chicken (I used about 2/3 white, 1/3 dark) left over from a costco rotisserie chicken

1/4 cup 0% Greek yogurt

1/8 cup low fat mayo (can eliminate if want)

Tablespoon delic mustard of your choice

1/2 small onion chopped and soaked in cold Water for a few min

1/8 cup Toasted almond slivers (make this so delic)

Teaspoon of garlic powder

Black pepper and salt to taste

Serve with a little fresh arugula bc it's spiciness is so good with the mustard. And serve alone or on Melba toast.

I'll make 3-4 meals out of this

This would also be great with:

A little cider vinegar

Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, terragon)

Raisins

A little hot sauce

Enjoy and share your fav chicken salad recipes! Anyone have a good healthy curry chicken salad recipe?

Saw this on the Skinny Taste blog and thought it was worth a try. It was really delicious - though I think the 1.5 cups of Greek yogurt was overkill for 16 ounces of chicken. I might try just a cup next time and that saves some carbs. Made as is in the recipe, MFP calculated the nutrition per serving (for 8 total servings ) at 116 calories, 7 carbs, 4 grams fat, 14 grams protein! ;)

Pistachio Cinnamon chicken salad

16 oz cooked shredded boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 1/2 cups Fat-Free Greek plain yogurt

½ cup pistachios, finely chopped

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp fresh lime juice

4 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

1 stalk celery, finely chopped

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

2 scallions, finely chopped

Shred cooked chicken breast using a fork; place in a large mixing bowl.

Add remaining ingredients; gently toss to combine. Transfer to serving bowls. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Sprinkle with additional scallions.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
