Chicken Salad Recipies



Recommended Posts

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.

Grapes are fine for me. I slice them up and chew, chew, chew. Sometimes I'll also add green onions and sliced almonds. YUMMY! I think I know what I'll be making for lunch today. :D

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

Love the idea of using the laughing cow cheese in place of the mayo. I'm going to try that! Thanks for sharing!

chicken salad

My friends and family love this and have no idea it is good for them

Boiled and cooled chicken either cut into chunks or shredded

Fage 0 greek yogurt (as little or as much as you want for desired creaminess)

Dried cherries

Walnuts

Finely chopped celery

Curry poweder (the mild yellow kind to taste)

Mix all together and let it sit for a few hours. You many need to add more yogurt as the chicken and cherries absorbs it

It is soooo good! Hope you enjoy!

When I'm too lazy to make my own, I get Trader Joe's rosemary apricot almond chicken salad. It's not too much of a nutritional hit. I run it through the food processor to cut down the big chunks and it's easier to eat. My band is really tight and i notoriously don't chew enough.

I bake my chicken breast with the skin on and some seasonings- then remove the skin and shred, add 1/2 lite mayo and lite sour cream, some craisens, pecans, dill weed, celery salt and celery. The craisens do bleed purple color after a while- but it taste great. You may want to buy the individual bags of craisens and add them that morning before you eat it for lunch.

I also make a standard salad, chicken, lite mayo, celery salt, celery, pickle relish, onion, egg and salt and pepper.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
