BLT Chicken Salad
If you're looking for the perfect meal prep idea, you've got to make this BLT Chicken Salad. Tender shredded chicken is combined with diced tomatoes, crispy bacon, and avocado all tossed in a creamy dressing in this easy high protein recipe.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
- 8 strips bacon chopped (center cut)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or you can skip and use all mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked pepper
- 1/3 cup green onions diced
- 2/3 pint grape tomatoes halved or quartered
- 1 avocado diced
Instructions
- Start by making the dressing in a large mixing bowl. Add in the mayo and Greek yogurt then whisk in the seasonings.
- Add the chicken, bacon, and green onions into the bowl. Mix well until it's all combined. Add in the diced tomatoes and mix again to incorporate.
- Once it's all mixed together, taste and adjust the seasonings. Add in the diced avocado once you are ready to serve and gently toss into the desired portion of chicken salad (or you can leave them in a single layer on top).
- Place into an airtight container and store in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
To Serve:
Typically chicken salad is served with club crackers, ritz crackers, tortilla chips or cucumber rounds. Or, you can serve them as lettuce wraps or romaine boats. However you serve them, you can't go wrong. This chicken salad is the perfect combination of tangy, salty, savory and crunchy. Storage:
I love to keep mine in glass airtight containers in the fridge already portioned out for meal prep. Then I'll throw my crackers or cucumbers into a snack sized zip-top bag. Or, I pack the chicken salad into these large 5.5 oz condiment cups. They are disposable and perfect for kids lunches, picnics, etc.
