Chicken Salad Recipies



Recommended Posts

Chicken salad has become a huge staple of my diet since bread went out the window. I usually replace my mayo with half mayo half plain greek yogurt and sometimes cottage cheese just to cut the fat of full mayo. How do you make your chicken salad??

2 small cans of chicken or 1 large can, I use fresh chicken sometimes, light mayo, paprika, 2 chopped eggs, small jar of pimentos, salt and pepper to taste, and a little bit of sweet pickle relish if I feel like it. I use whole wheat ritzs.

I make my tuna and chicken salad the same way:

Can or pouch of chicken or tuna

Hard boiled eggs

Dab of mustard

1 wedge laughing cow light cheese (in place of mayo)

Salt and pepper or other seasonings

Sometimes I add dill pickle relish or chopped apples

I'm personally not a big chicken salad eater ( harder to eat than tuna) but I have the same recipe for both chicken and tuna salad and they are delicious.

Can of Tuna drained well. If you have a cat give them the Tuna Water ( in moderation) they love it!

1 largish Jalapeno pepper diced small remove seeds please

Red Pepper half a medium diced small

Red Onion (to taste) and again diced small I use about 4 Tablespoons or more

Chunky salsa 1 or two tablespoons

Olive Oil mayo 1 or 2 tablespoons

Lime juice just a little for flavor

Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.

Chopped Cilantro

Mix all the ingredients except Cilantro and taste. Add more of what you think it needs then mix again.

Add chopped Cilantro right before serving and Viola! Mexican Tuna/Chicken salad. I used to eat this with Whole Wheat Pita when I still could but crackers or tortilla chips are delicious as well.

I make a simple curry chicken salad. I use boneless breasts that I roast and then shred. I add light mayo, curry powder to taste- a little goes a long way, but then again I like a lot of curry ;) - then slice grapes and salt and pepper. Sounds weird but I think it is delicious!

Oh, I never thought of curry. That's so good with chicken and will cover up for the nonfat mayo I hate. I thought we couldn't eat grapes because of the skin. You don't have a problem with them? I love grapes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
