We know that part of staying healthy is having the food on hand that makes it easy to do so. If you don’t have something healthy around to snack on then it is a possibility you may reach for a less nutritious option.
One idea could be to make a large batch of chicken salad for the week. It makes a great snack or can very easily be thrown on top of a salad for a delicious meal.
A Health and Tasty Chicken Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breast or a rotisserie chicken (chopped or shredded)
- 1 small onion finely diced
- 1 apple roughly chopped
- 4 sticks of celery roughly chopped
- 2-3 tsp of yellow or Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup of mayonnaise (you can use your mayo of choice or any substitute you prefer)
- Salt and pepper to taste. We suggest a few sprinkles of cinnamon to really elevate the flavor. This tastes delicious in combination with the apples.
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix until combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours to allow the flavors to pop.
Notes
Feel free to play with the ingredients. Some people may prefer more apple, some maybe like their chicken salad a little more creamy. Have fun and be creative!
