This is a lower fat, and healthier version of chicken salad. You can use canned chicken, or leftover grilled chicken.

You can use this chicken salad with carbs like: rice, quinoa, or even a homemade sourdough bread.

Or you can use it on unlimited foods like: lettuce cups, on top of your salad, on zucchini noodles, or on top of tomato slices.

To get more veggies per serving, finely chop and add things you have on hand like spinach, onions, scallions, red peppers, etc. and add it into the chicken salad mixture.
