Keto Chicken Salad

I’m always looking for things that are quick and easy for lunches, especially since I’m usually on the go or wanting something different to take for lunch at work. I came across this recipe and gave it a shot. It’s not too bad, but maybe a little too much onion flavor for me and feels like it’s missing something, maybe something sweet.

This recipe is super simple and you can easily make a bigger batch if you want it for more lunches/dinners.

All you need for this is:

1 1/4 lbs chicken (anywhere from 2-4 chicken breasts depending on size) 6-7 tbsp of mayo 2-3 celery stalks 2-3 tbsp red onion salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste For starters, bake the chicken in a 350 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes until it’s cooked and no longer pink. Depending on size, your chicken may take more or less time.

While you are waiting for the chicken to cook/cool, dice up the celery and onion.

Once the chicken has cooled, cut into small pieces.

Add the celery, onion, mayo, and spices to taste and mix all til well combined. That’s it!

Mix all ingredients and store in fridge up to 1 week. If you’re doing low carb/Keto, you can eat this plain, on peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, however you’d like! There are also several recipes for low carb crackers and bread if you prefer that. All in all, I liked the recipe, but I would probably change things. I’m not a huge fan of raw onion, so I may omit that and use onion powder instead for a little flavor and maybe cut up a couple grapes for the sweetness I was missing. There would be a few carbs added with the grapes, but also reduced with removing the onions.

Let me know what you think if you make it and how you might modify the recipe! Enjoy!
