Making Chicken Pouch friendly

The whole family has been begging for BBQ chicken lately. I haven't cooked it because, well, chicken scares me. Meats in general scare me - still. So I gave in and baked some chicken breasts with BBQ sauce all over them. Family loved them - pouch not so much. Too dry. So I had a few left over (3). reheating leftovers sometimes don't go over well with Oscar the Pouch either and money is too tight to throw a bite of anything out.

So - Chicken Salad to the rescue. It was fairly simple and was delicious.
 

BBQ Chicken Salad


3 - chicken breasts (diced) - these were leftovers still covered in BBQ sauce
1/2 lg. red onion (diced)
2 stalks of celery (diced fine)
handful of grapes (quartered)
1/4 cup of SF Sweet relish

1 - 8oz container of Fage Yogurt
1/4 cup of mayonaisse
3 TBSP mustard
4 pkts of splenda

Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl.  In a seperate bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together until well blended. Add the dressing mixture to the chicken bowl. Stir well. Keep refrigerated.

Thanks, Kilmarlic, this looks delicious and simple. Now, how about your WLS-friendly barbecue sauce recipe?

Sounds good, but I can't have the BBQ sauce because of the sugar in it.

I buy a KC-masterpiece low cal BBQ sauce, they have it at the grocery stores here and at Target. It's only 10 calories and no sugar, and THANK GOD, because prior to surgery I ate bbq sauce NEARLY every day. I love it!

 

and this recipe sounds DEVINE!

 

I've made just regular chicken salad a couple times, but just wasn't impressed with it, THIS I think I can handle :)

OMG this was even better the second day. I watched my BF devour what was left of it last night. He oohed and aahhed as he polished off the container then commented that it was "THE BEST" he'd ever had.   I'm good like that.
