How can I make a Low Carb Keto Chicken Salad?
The trick to this simple healthy chicken salad is using the best healthy ingredients.
What Healthy Ingredients do I need to make this Simple Chicken Salad?
- An Apple
- Low Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
- Stevia
- A Rotisserie Chicken
- Light Mayonnaise
- Ranch Seasoning
Recipe FAQ's:
Traditional chicken salad made with mayonnaise averages about 266 calories for only ½ cup.
Low fat mayo is 1 point for 1 tablespoon.
A healthy homemade chicken salad has 157 calories for ½ cup serving and 314 calories for a one cup serving.
Homemade fresh chicken salad can be stored for up to 5 days in the refrigerator if stored appropriately in an air tight container.
Mayonnaise does not freeze well and tends to separate once it has thawed reducing the quality of your chicken salad. If your chicken salad contains mayonnaise, I recommend skipping the freezing, fresh is best.
What is the Best Apple for this Easy Homemade Chicken Salad?
- Honeycrisp
- Red Delicious
- Granny Smith
- Fuji
- Golden Delicious
What is the Best Chicken for this Traditional Chicken Salad Recipe
To make this a quick and easy recipe I used a store bought pre cooked Rotisserie Chicken. You can usually find one at any local supermarket for under $10.00. Just remove the skin and cut off the chicken breast and shred with a fork.
If you like dark meat use the meat from the drumsticks and thighs. It will be slightly higher in calories but just as tasty.
If you have the time to make your own chicken you can try my Instant Pot Chicken Recipe to prepare home cooked chicken for this recipe.
