Why You Will Love This 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.

Ingredients for Weight Watchers Chicken Salad

• Chicken breasts, diced or shredded - They’re lean and quick-cooking and always come out juicy and tender. Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure that the chicken is not over cooked. When reading labels for chicken breasts try to find ones that say Organic or Free Range.
• Apples are one of the most popular fruits in the world, and for good reason. Not only are they delicious, but they are also incredibly nutritious. Apples are a great source of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, which can help protect your body against disease and illness.
• Grapes -
• Dried Cranberries - are also a good source of fiber, which can help promote healthy digestion and keep you feeling full for longer periods of time.
• Slivered almonds - or any type of nut you prefer, pecans would be good
• Light mayo - I use light mayo to help keep the points and calories low
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Garlic powder - Chopped fresh garlic can take some time to chop so I often always use the freshly minced garlic that comes already made in a jar.
• See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Tips for Chicken Salad

• 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.
• Also, you can get shredded already cooked chicken at the Deli or any grocery stores these days. Sometimes I like to get a package of shredded chicken from Target.
• The apples and grapes can be diced or just cut in half.
• 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.
