Do you grab a bagel, muffin or have cereal because it’s a convenient breakfast? Make your life easier by having this high-protein chicken salad instead!
Because when we start our day with foods that are high in sugar but low in protein, it makes our day so much HARDER.
It triggers a blood sugar roller coaster that leaves us hungry, craving sugar and crashing by mid-day. Not to mention we stop fat loss in its tracks and lose a precious opportunity to build muscle.
This is truly the BEST Chicken Salad and it’s ridiculously easy to make and anything but boring. Use leftovers or a rotisserie chicken to make it even faster.
Just toss all ingredients in a bowl and you’ll have a delicious chicken salad!
Directions for The Best Chicken Salad
First, shred or dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Once the chicken and veggies are prepped, add all of the ingredients to a large bowl and mix it together. Once it is mixed, taste the chicken salad for seasoning and add anything that is needed.
Serve as-is, with some low-starch veggies on the side or on a bed or arugula or greens. This is perfect for high-protein meal prep lunches and breakfasts.
