HIGH PROTEIN CHIPOTLE CHICKEN SALAD



CHIPOTLE CHICKEN SALAD

This is high protein chicken salad with just the right kick. You can eat it on your favorite kind of bread (sourdough would be amazing), as lettuce wraps, or straight from the bowl with a fork when the timing is right. The best part is that its a super easy recipe … it only takes a few minutes to throw together, and its perfect for meal prep when you want easy healthy meals for the week.

For the chicken salad:3 cups cooked diced or shredded chicken1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1 small red onion1/4 cup chopped cilantro
For the chipotle sauce:1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1.5 tbsp mayo (optional)1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo, finely chopped1 tbsp adobo sauceJuice of 1 lime1/2 tbsp honey1/4 tsp garlic powder1/4 tsp smoked paprikaSalt and pepper to taste

Here is how I made it:

1.Finely dice up or shred cooked chicken. You can also use rotisserie chicken to make things easier If you prefer. But I just season up a bunch of chicken in advance to use for meals like this. Just drizzle 1lb chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tbsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tbsp onion powder. Mix well, then pop in the oven at 350F for 38-40 mins. Then just cut into small cubes and add 3 cups to a bowl.

2.Finely dice your celery, red onion, and fresh cilantro and add to the bowl.

3.Add all the sauce ingredients to a food processor or blender and process till smooth. Give it a taste and adjust as you wish. This will be on the thicker side. You can add 2 tbsp water or more lime juice as you prefer. Pour over the chicken and veggies in the bowl, and toss.

4.Taste and adjust salt or lime as needed.

5.Serve it chilled, wrapped in lettuce, or piled onto your favorite low-carb bread or sourdough

This keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days if you want to prep in advance for quick meals.

ENJOY!
