I need a good Chicken salad Recipe......
I'm also a fan of the Greek Yogurt instead of mayo, but I cut the Greek yogurt very slightly by adding in a little FF Cool Whip. I haven't made this yet post-op, but pre-op, if I made chicken salad with two 4-oz chicken breasts (3 meals back then, probably about 5-6 now), I'd use 1/2 C of Greek Yogurt and 2 or 3 T of the FF Cool Whip. It's just enough to thin out the yogurt a little. I'd also add chopped apples, grapes, and walnuts, but that's waaaaaaaaay too much for the sleeve to handle at this point!
Personally .....
Chicken was the last protien I was cleared on......
I would suggest eggs and soft fish first..... Wait till about 8-10 weeks out for Chicken........soft, wet, slow cooked proteins are good for early out....
Now chicken salad....So many options and things to try. During WL you really want to give Greek Yogurt an honest go.... It really can work to be quite enjoyable ..... You just gotta work with it......
My main mix is GY with a little Sriracha...... As you advance you can start adding mayo to the mix.... Just be cautious of the fat as you go.....
Add whatever to GY.... Soy Sauce and wasabi..... Salsa..... Taco seasoning.... Unlimited ......
