    This Whole30 chicken salad recipe is creamy, crunchy and a tad bit sweet. This recipe is great for summer picnics and work lunches. We like to batch cook it so we can eat it all throughout the week. 

    ingredients in a bowl with celery and grapes

    Growing up, chicken salad was one of my favorites. As I started getting into paleo I would have regular store bought chicken salad and it always made my stomach hurt, I knew there had to be a better alternative and this is it!

    Whole30 Chicken Salad Ingredients:

    • Chicken breasts-Already cooked! I love getting all of my meats and proteins from Butcher Box. They send me a monthly supply right to my doorstep so all I have to do is thaw it out the night before prior to using it. If you use my link HERE you can get free bacon for life with your order. 
    • Avocado mayo-This is the paleo alternative to conventional mayo. It is made with either avocado oil or olive oil which is better for us than the canola oil that is used in regular mayo.
    • Celery-To add a nice crunch.
    • Purple grapes-To add some sweetness. 
    • Almond slivers-To add even more crunch! This recipe can be made without the nuts if you have a nut allergy.
    • Sea salt-To taste.

    How to make Whole30 Chicken Salad:

    • First, dice up the cooked chicken breasts into small cubes.
    • Next, mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Start off by using the 1 ½ cup avocado mayo, if you like your paleo chicken salad even creamier, add another half cup until the desired consistency is reached.

    What if I do not know how to cook chicken breasts?

    • I have you covered. There are a few ways to cook it. 
    • In the instant pot with a cup of bone broth on high pressure for 8 minutes. 
    • In the oven on 350 for 20 minutes with bone broth in the bottom. Check the internal temperature of the chicken to see if it’s done. It should be at 165 degrees F.
    • Poached, on the stove top with bone broth. Approx 8 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the breast. Cut the middle of the breast to see if it is pink, if it is pink keep cooking.

    What to serve with:

    • Celery sticks
    • Over greens
    • Zucchini slices
    • Almond flour crackers

      This recipe is a keeper!! It is absolutely delicious! I am not a huge fan of mayonnaise based salads but tried this recipe and it is phenomenal!! As an added bonus, it’s super easy to make and a quick clean up! I enjoy this chicken salad on bell peppers!
