So my chicken salad needed a revamp.. it had way to many ingredients. And I never had all of them on hand and I love chicken salad… so here we go… round two! According to Mr. Not So Paleo this is yummier than the last chicken salad.. which is totally high praise considering he loves chicken salad more than I do {which is a lot}!
This goes great with well.. anything really and it’s another paleo meal that can go non paleo super easy. I made Mr. Not So Paleo some English Muffins and made him sandwiches with it! Totally versatile.
Ingredients:
• 1.5lb Chicken breasts, cut up into bite size pieces.
• Medium Onion, diced
• 1/2 carrot {ish}, diced
• Scallions
• Homemade mayo
• Mustard
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Salt + Pepper, Italian Seasoning, Cumin
• Sausages {or bacon or both!}
• Some sorta fat source I used coconut oil {but you could use bacon grease, butter, ghee, etc}
How To:
• Get a big skillet heating with your fat, and dice up your chicken, toss into pan and cook it through. I like it a bit crispy so I let it go for a while. While it’s cooking chop up your sausages, onions, and carrots. {the amount is really a personal choice}.
• Put chicken into big bowl add bit more fat into skillet and toss in the carrots, onion and sausages to cook. {While thats cooking up you could make your mayo if it wasn’t already}. Once those are done add those into the bowl.
• Salt + Pepper to taste go in, about two drizzle around the bowl of apple cider vinegar {so like 2 – 3 tsps {or more if you’re me}}, two good squirts of yellow mustard, two big spoonfuls of mayo, and cumin + Italian Seasoning to taste.
• Mix it all together, taste, adjust spices, taste again. Then add in chopped up scallions mix again. You’re done!
Enjoy!
Tried this tonight and both my husband and I loved it! I think what does it for me is the apple cider vinegar, and he loved that it had mustard in it. I didn’t have Italian seasoning nor sausage, and I just used a tiny bit of cumin, and it turned out wonderful!!Thanks!!
I just made this and it was delicious! I made it with chicken and sausage. Bacon would definitely be another great addition! I’m thinking some chopped avocado and diced tomatoes for a topping when I eat more later.
