This high protein chicken salad is one of my favorite lunches and is super versatile! Put it on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich or my favorite – on top of a rice cake! I eat about 1/3 of the total amount to hit my protein goals at lunch.
High Protein Chicken Salad
1 large can chicken (12.5 oz), drained
1/2 cup cottage cheese, I smash it up a bit first!
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup quartered grapes
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp parsley
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Splash of pickle juice
Mix together and serve! My favorite way to eat this is on a couple rice cakes. Fills my crunch cravings, while still keeping the protein high and carbs low! This also works great with rotisserie chicken and whatever kind of grapes you have!
