healthy chicken salad

All the flavor of jalapeño poppers in a healthy, Whole30 chicken salad.

Jalapeño Popper Chicken Salad

chicken breasts

bacon

jalapeños

mayonnaise

green onion

onion powder

garlic powder

tsp salt

avocado oil

Place chicken breasts in a medium sized sauce pan and cover with cold water until both breasts are covered with at least 1&#8243; of water

Place pot on the stove uncovered and bring water to a boil

Reduce the water to a simmer and cover with a lid

Simmer the chicken for 14 minutes then remove from heat

While the chicken cookes prepare the bacon on the stovetop &#8211; fry at medium-low heat until crispy

Also, prepare the jalapeños by deseeding and slicing into small strips. **If you want a spicier chicken salad, leave some of the seeds attached to the pepper.

Place 1 tbsp of avocado oil in a frying pan over medium heat

Saute jalapeños until soft, about 10 minutes. Then, add 1/2 tsp salt and saute for an additional minute

Place cooked bacon on a towel to drain some grease and then chop into bite sized pieces

In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, green onion, onion powder, and garlic powder

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the water and shredd on a plate or cutting board with 2 forks

In a large bowl combine shredded chicken, mayo mixture, sauteed jalapeños, and chopped bacon

Mix all ingredients until evenly combined

Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days

This chicken salad is excellent! Used a rotisserie chicken and precooked smoked Turkey bacon for quick and easy meal prep lunches. My husband and I both loved it!

Made this for lunch today between Zoom calls and it was simple, easy, and delicious! I just wish I would have doubled the recipe because we've almost finished it. 
Already have recommended it to friends!

SO good!  I used raw jalapeños for crunch and added half of a minced shallot instead of onion and garlic powder.  I also added some minced cilantro and roasted the chicken breasts because I think that adds more flavor.

I used turkey bacon &amp; substituted the mayo with plain Greek yogurt and ate it with romaine hearts. It tasted great! The pop of jalapeño is the best bite. I’m excited to try it tomorrow once it’s been cooled in the fridge for a day.

I made this according to recipe but added 8oz of cooked pasta with a little more mayo and turned it into a pasta salad. Its excellent!  Thanks for sharing

This was such a great twist on boring old chicken salad. Totally in my recipe box now.

How did you use MFP because when I imported it it says 360 Cal's per half cup. Someone is wrong here

Very good write-up. I certainly love this website. Thanks!

This is an absolute hit at our house! Thanks so much for such a fantastic healthy version of chicken salad!

Tried this out tonight, and my husband LOVED it!!  I used to make chicken salad with eggs, and he didn't care for it.  I'm so glad to find an easy make-ahead choice for his lunch!  Thanks for sharing!

My husband and I really enjoyed this! I didn't have sage, but it turned out great. I also tried adding a little bit of honey and apples (I just love apples in my chicken salad!), and I liked it being a little bit sweeter. Thanks so much!

Delicious lunch. My husband liked it, too.

I thought this was going to be weird.. to me it seemed like a lot of mustard but this was actually very very good! My family loved it and my co-workers sampled some of my lunch and asked me for the recipe.
Quick and Easy, perfect for a week night meal. I made some baked fries for a side along with some grapes.

LOVE this recipe. I make this at least once a week and is my go to for a healthy lunch! I throw it atop somce greens or some times on a sprouted grain roll! Occasionally I'll add diced dried apricots too! Great recipe!

First time visitor here. But I already fell in love with what you have here!

Thank you for sharing this easy recipe. It is so delicious.

Made this for lunch for some guests and it was a big hit! Definitely will be making it again soon for easy lunches during the week.

I wish I hadn’t added the Dijon mustard, I ended up throwing the whole bowl away.  I’m not to fond of Dijon mustard but thought I wouldn’t be able to taste it but it over powers everything else.

“I like to cook this with bone-in cutlets and then, once the chook is done and rested, I cut the bone out and slice the meat. If you find this a little daunting, ask the butcher to debone the cutlets for you first, or use thigh fillets. Thighs are forgiving (not mine, mind you); you’ll just need to reduce the cooking time as explained below.” This is an edited extract from Every Night of the Week by Lucy Tweed.

Healthy Chicken Salad

whole roasted chicken, meat off

celery⁣

lemon, juiced⁣

mayonnaise⁣

salt⁣

pepper⁣

Creole Seasoning⁣

Put chicken meat in a food processor and pulse a few times to roughly chop. Continue pulsing for about 30 seconds until the chicken is finely chopped. *If you turn &#8220;on&#8221; the food processor, your chicken will become a &#8220;paste&#8221; instead, use the pulse method until it&#8217;s very finely chopped.

⁣In a bowl, combine lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt, pepper creole seasoning and blend well.⁣

⁣Toss chicken into the bowl, combine a few times with a spatula and add finely chopped celery.⁣

I have done chicken salad for years using the food processor because it was faster than hand chopping the chicken. Try adding grapes (it's how I make mine), and use your food processor's slicing blade to slice the grapes for you!
