When you're trying to stick to a Keto meal plan, preparing a hot lunch everyday is pretty unrealistic.
I was making several recipes on Sundays and using them for meal prep, reheat-able meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, which was delicious, but made for a really long and exhausting Sunday.
Now, I will make one new Keto recipe and keep my other meals for the week very simple. This 3 Step chicken salad recipe is the perfect cold lunch that will fit into any Keto meal plan.
Although us Keto-ers are being told we can have Keto recipes with butter, cheese, and chicken thighs instead of just chicken breasts, it's still important to be mindful of the ingredients and the amount of saturated fats we consume on a regular basis.
I seriously can't find a mayonnaise that I'm happy with in any regular grocery stores! I recommend making your own Keto Mayo or using Trader Joes Organic Mayo. You want it to provide healthy fats, no ingredients you can't pronounce on the label, and no added sweeteners.
Ok.. let's be honest there is nothin better than chicken salad on ritz crackers, but don't get excited, we can't have those (sad, sad news).
What I typically do is either eat it straight out of the bowl ( don't judge me), cut thick slices of cucumber and pretend they are crackers or make these low carb crackers!
It's almost not even fair to consider it a recipe because it's so easy to make, I throw it together with already meal prepped chicken I have left over in the fridge when I don't feel like making anything else.
To be honest I can't even take full credit for this recipe. My mom use to make my tuna fish this way when I was a little girl and by default that's now how I make my chicken salad too.
I'm thrilled that so many people love it as much as I do and some people have even gotten creative, adding hot sauce or other ingredients to spice it up a bit, which I think is an awesome Idea.
