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.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
