Recipe of the Day: Homemade Chicken Salad

Hey everyone! I hope you found my tips about dining out in my last post super helpful. I just wanted to put up a mini-post today of a recipe that I use all the time. My trainer, Lauren, has me on a very specific diet and exercise program, and my menu is very detailed. One of the dishes she's listed for me as a frequent lunch option is chicken salad. It's something that can be prepped in advance, it's low fat and low calorie, and it's absolutely delicious.

  • 1 medium-sized boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and cubed
  • 1 Tbsp of olive oil mayonnaise (It's absolutely delicious, and it's good for you too! I like to use Hellman's brand)
  • 1 stalk of celery, chopped
  • (Optional) A small amount of chopped onion (I'm personally not a fan of onion in my chicken salad, but if you like the flavor, then go for it!)
All you have to do is mix all the ingredients together and keep it refrigerated! This recipe makes one serving, and I usually don't prep it more than one day in advance, because I only eat chicken salad a couple of times a week. However, if you're planning on making chicken salad for multiple people, or you want to have this for lunch or dinner a few days in a row, just use larger quantities of the ingredients as needed.

Homemade Chicken Salad: Delicious AND Satisfying
