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.

      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.
