    This healthy BLT Chicken Salad recipe is an easy Whole30 and Paleo friendly dish that only takes a few ingredients and comes together in under 30 minutes.

    This chicken salad recipe is one of my most popular recipes on social media. Rightfully so, because this recipe is super easy to make and everyone loves BLTs!

    Anything with bacon is always going to be a hit in my book! You can't go wrong with a classic BLT so I decided to take the bacon, lettuce, and tomato and turn it into a chicken salad version. Chicken salad is a great thing to make to have on hand during the week for lunches because it's healthy and takes next to no time to meal prep.

    Ingredients

    Substitution

    Chicken- I love using a rotisserie chicken but you can use canned chicken if you like

    Mayo- If you don't mind dairy, you can substitute the mayo for plain Greek yogurt

    Onion- Red onion would also be great in this

    Step by step

    1. Cook the bacon till crispy. I prefer to do mine on the stove but you can do it in the oven or however you like
    2. Debone and shred the rotisserie chicken and add it to a large mixing bowl
    3. Dice your tomatoes, onions, and spinach and add them to the mixing bowl with the chicken
    4. Add the mayo and seasonings to the bowl and mix everything together
    5. Crumble the crispy bacon into pieces and add it to the chicken salad mixture and stir to combine

    How to serve

    Here are some ways to serve this chicken salad.

    • Sandwich- Adding this to some toasted gluten free bread would make for a great lunch
    • Lettuce wraps- Use bib lettuce to make this into a lettuce wrap
    • Add avocado
    • Pasta- I love adding gluten free pasta to this to make a BLT chicken pasta salad
    • Stuffed avocado- scoop out a little bit of an avocado, add it to the chicken salad, then filled the avocado with the chicken salad

    Storing

    Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
