Whole 30 Chicken Salad

 From: Mary's Whole Life

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken breasts
• 15-20 grapes, sliced in half
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries or diced apple
• 1/4 cup pistachios or pecans, raw or dry roasted
• 1/4 cup chopped celery, (optional)
• 1/4 cup mayo , Use Primal Kitchen for Whole30
• 1/2 tsp sea salt, more or less to taste
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp celery seed
• 1/2 tsp paprika

Cook chicken: Bring a large pot of water to a boil with chicken breasts inside. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let the breasts sit in the covered pot for 15 minutes. Chop/shred and add to a bowl. Omit this step if using rotisserie chicken! (If doing Whole 30, make sure any rotisserie chicken is compliant!)

Add remaining ingredients into a large bowl with the cooked chicken. Mix well until combined. Refrigerate until ready to eat! Can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Verdict:

Such a big thumbs up! This was absolutely delish. I used grapes, apples (beware of dried cranberries like they suggest, because the ones I almost used from my pantry were NOT compliant), celery, and almonds. I used the Primal Kitchen mayo which is my saving grace for many meals. It honestly didn't taste different to me than regular chicken salad! Perfect for a quick lunch.
