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.

almond flour

onion (diced)

hot sauce

Italian seasoning

parsley (chopped)

green beans (ends chopped off)

potato

Salt and pepper

For the Meatloaf Sauce

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.

In a large bowl, add all the ingredients for the meatloaf. Stir to combine very well.

Form the ground beef mixture into a rectangle shape on the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the meatloaf sauce and mix well. Pour the sauce on top of the meatloaf and spread it into an even layer.

Bake for about 45-55 minutes.

Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with foil and place the sweet potato and green beans on it. Add olive oil, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Mix everything well to combine. Place the baking sheet in the oven (with the meatloaf) and bake the veggies for 15 minutes or until is tender. Make sure you dice the sweet potatoes in very small pieces so they can cook as fast as the green beans. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let them rest.

After 45 minutes check to see if the meatloaf is ready. If so, remove from the oven and let it rest for 8-10 minutes. Cut the meatloaf into ½-inch slices and add two slices into 4 different glass containers along with the roasted veggies. Enjoy!
