Ingredients

Chicken Breasts - For this quick and easy chicken salad recipe we just picked up a pre-cooked Rotisserie Chicken at the supermarket. If you prefer to make your own chicken try out my cast iron chicken recipe.

Cottage Cheese - Using cottage cheese in chicken salad adds a creamy texture and boosts protein while keeping it lower in fat and calories compared to mayo.

Plain Greek Yogurt - Using plain Greek yogurt in chicken salad adds a rich, creamy texture while packing in extra protein, probiotics, and less fat than traditional mayo.

Teriyaki Sauce - We used House of Tsang Teriyaki Sauce for this homemade chicken salad. Kinders Teriyaki sauce is also great with this recipe. You can make this a Keto Teriyaki chicken salad by using G. Hughes Sugar Free Teriyaki.

Sesame Seeds - Adding sesame seeds to a healthier teriyaki chicken salad provides a boost of healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants while enhancing the dish with a subtle nutty crunch. We used Sriracha flavored Sesame Seeds with a mix of Black Sesame Seeds.

Expert Tips

• 1. Use Warm Rotisserie Chicken for Easy Shredding
• Shred the chicken while it’s still warm for the best texture. It’s easier to pull apart and absorbs flavors more effectively.
• 2. Blend Cottage Cheese for Extra Creaminess
• For a smoother, mayo-like consistency, blend the cottage cheese before mixing it into the chicken salad. This makes it extra creamy without adding extra fat.
• 3. Add Crunch for Texture
• Incorporate chopped celery, bell peppers, cucumbers, or almonds for a satisfying crunch that balances the creaminess of the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt.
• 4. Boost Flavor with Fresh Herbs & Seasonings
• Enhance your chicken salad with fresh dill, parsley, green onions, garlic powder, or a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh and vibrant taste.
• 5. Make It a High-Protein Meal Prep Staple
• Store individual portions in airtight containers for quick, protein-packed lunches throughout the week. It stays fresh for up to 4 days in the fridge.
• 6. Serve It in Different Ways
• Enjoy your chicken salad in multiple ways:
• On whole-grain toast or a wrap for a satisfying sandwich
• Stuffed in lettuce cups for a low-carb meal
• On cucumber or bell pepper slices for a crunchy snack
• Over mixed greens as a quick salad bowl
• 7. Adjust Consistency to Your Liking
• For a thicker salad, use less Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. If you prefer it looser, add a splash of lemon juice or a teaspoon of olive oil.
• 8. Spice It Up for a Flavor Twist
• Add paprika, cayenne pepper, or a dash of hot sauce for a little heat. Smoked paprika gives it a subtle smoky depth.
• 9. Store It Properly for Freshness
• Keep your chicken salad in an airtight container in the fridge and avoid leaving it out for more than 2 hours to prevent spoilage.
• 10. Customize It for Different Diets
• Keto? Add avocado and chopped nuts for extra healthy fats.
• Low-carb? Skip dried fruit and opt for more crunchy veggies.
• Higher protein? Add extra shredded chicken and cottage cheese.
