Weight Watcher's Chicken Salad

Weight Watchers Chicken  Salad

This chicken salad is made with juicy chicken breast, grapes, apple, dried cranberries, and some almonds for some crunch. I usually make this salad during the Spring and Summer and grill up a bunch of chicken ahead of time. Sometimes I’ll even use my air fryer to cook my chicken breast.

You can serve it in a pita bread or on a slice of bread and make open faced sandwiches. To make a zero point chicken salad omit the slivered almonds, dried cranberries, and use plain greek yogurt instead of mayo. I just prefer the taste mayo gives in chicken salad.

How to make Chicken Salad

1. To make chicken salad an easy lunch or weeknight dinner make sure to prep your chicken ahead of time on the weekend or the night before. If you are making a recipe that calls for chicken reserve some or cook some extra chicken breast.
2. In a bowl add the cooked chicken, apple, grapes, almonds, cranberries, salt and pepper, and garlic powder. Mix everything together and serve over lettuce or make a sandwich with it.
3. The apples and grapes can be diced or just cut in half.
4. Nuts get pretty expensive at the grocery store. My recipe calls for just 2 tablespoons of slivered almonds and sometimes where you find other nuts such as pecans or almonds you can find tiny bags of them. You can always choose not to add in the nuts as well. Just giving you some options here.

Ingredients for Weight Watchers Chicken Salad

• Chicken - The choice of chicken you decide to use is up to you. You can dice it, shred it, use rotisserie chicken, etc. I like to cook my chicken in the air fryer. See my recipe for Air Fryer Chicken Breast.
• I love the sweetness that the apples, grapes, and dried cranberries give this salad. The dried cranberries is a must!
• Slivered almonds - Almonds add some crunch to this salad.
• Light mayo - If you really want to skip the mayo in this recipe you can use plain Greek yogurt instead. I just prefer the taste of mayo in my chicken salads.

What to serve with Chicken Salad

You can serve chicken salad over a bed of lettuce, make an open faced chicken salad sandwich, or on a croissant bun. Eat it just right out of the bowl and skip the bun and lettuce.

This is also good with leftover turkey the Day after Thanksgiving!
