Chicken salad recipes anyone?



Recommended Posts

Just made this after getting this great champagne dill mustard from whole foods:

4 oz chicken (I used about 2/3 white, 1/3 dark) left over from a costco rotisserie chicken

1/4 cup 0% Greek yogurt

1/8 cup low fat mayo (can eliminate if want)

Tablespoon delic mustard of your choice

1/2 small onion chopped and soaked in cold Water for a few min

1/8 cup Toasted almond slivers (make this so delic)

Teaspoon of garlic powder

Black pepper and salt to taste

Serve with a little fresh arugula bc it's spiciness is so good with the mustard. And serve alone or on Melba toast.

I'll make 3-4 meals out of this

This would also be great with:

A little cider vinegar

Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, terragon)

Raisins

A little hot sauce

Enjoy and share your fav chicken salad recipes! Anyone have a good healthy curry chicken salad recipe?

Saw this on the Skinny Taste blog and thought it was worth a try. It was really delicious - though I think the 1.5 cups of Greek yogurt was overkill for 16 ounces of chicken. I might try just a cup next time and that saves some carbs. Made as is in the recipe, MFP calculated the nutrition per serving (for 8 total servings ) at 116 calories, 7 carbs, 4 grams fat, 14 grams protein! ;)

Pistachio Cinnamon chicken salad

16 oz cooked shredded boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 1/2 cups Fat-Free Greek plain yogurt

½ cup pistachios, finely chopped

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp fresh lime juice

4 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

1 stalk celery, finely chopped

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

2 scallions, finely chopped

Shred cooked chicken breast using a fork; place in a large mixing bowl.

Add remaining ingredients; gently toss to combine. Transfer to serving bowls. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Sprinkle with additional scallions.

      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.
