She makes it for my mother nearly each week. My husband and I tasted it whereas visiting and we have been hooked. I did make some skinny modifications like utilizing mild mayo and solely utilizing chicken hen. Every ½ cup serving has solely 112 energy and 6 grams of fats.

Purchasing Ideas
Most supermarkets promote cooked rotisserie hen. My market sells 3 varieties. Lemon/Pepper hen, common and even an natural, vegetarian feed with no hormones. That’s what I used. They do differ in measurement. This recipe requires 4 cups of diced hen breasts. Since I solely use the chicken, create one other skinny meal with the leftover darkish meat. Or, freeze the darkish meat for a later use.
Prep Ideas
This recipe could be very versatile. I included the quantity of carrots, celery, and onions I like. You may add extra or add much less, to your liking.
Serving Ideas
I wish to serve this hen salad as an open-faced sandwich. Unfold 1 slice of Milton’s multi-grain bread or your favourite bread with yellow mustard. Unfold 1/2 cup of hen salad on high of the mustard. Prime the sandwich with sliced tomato. So yum!
To create a principal course salad, ready a blended greens and veggies salad and toss with my skinny ranch. Prime the salad with 1 scoop of hen salad.
