Chicken Salad (Buffalo Style)
Another one of Mark Dugdale's recipes that I love is this chicken salad. This picture doesn't do it justice to how it tastes if your a chicken salad fan. I ate this all weekend since I didn't workout and was only doing 30g of carbs this mixture you can make high fat or low. Also how I measured it out was I cooked enough frozen chicken tenderloins to weigh out to five 6oz (cooked weight) meals before I mixed everything up. Once I mixed everything up I distributed equally in plastic containers.
Ingredients -
- chicken tenderloins or chicken breast
- seasoning (i use salt free greek all purpose)
- heritage fare buffalo sauce
- 1 packet of shredded lettus
- 1/2 packet cole slaw mix
- 1.5 cups of Fage greek yogurt (fat free) *make sure to get the fage i used a different namebrand on sunday and it wasn''t as thick and was more watery which made the mixture watery.
- chopped walnuts
- 2-5 tbsp of macadamia nut oil or extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- boil frozen chicken for 30-35 minutes
- let cool off then weigh out how many meals it will make once it's cooled off break up into shredded pieces in a large bowl
- add seasoning to liking, add lettus and cole slaw, add chopped walnuts (i use about a half cup)
- add yogurt
- you can skip out on the oil as when i made my final mixture on sunday i used no oil but the first two batches i did. first one i used extra virgin and second i used macadamia nut oil...my favorite was mac oil but i wanted to lower my fat content back down on sunday.
- mix all together and distribute evenly in plastic containers and refrigerate
- once your ready to eat pour some of the heritage fare buffalo sauce (or other zero sugar condiments to add flavor) and mix up and enjoy. I also tried the zero cal bbq sauce on it and i didn't like it. I tried some dijon mustard and didn't like that either.
