No Mayo Chicken Salad Sandwich

So good, even Bonnie can't resist!

This meal uses a yummy chicken salad recipe I've adapted from The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook.

I won't lie, I'm the only one in my house who eats this (though if they would just try it...) Which is fine, because that way its mine all mine! I make a batch and stick it in the fridge to use all week for sandwiches and salads. Put it on a bed of lettuce to go super low cal, or use any healthy bread option (whole wheat tortilla, light bread, whole wheat pita, or as I did, a whole wheat sandwich thin).

You could even double the recipe and take it to a potluck!

Here I have it on a sandwich thin with baby carrots, 5 whole wheat ritz crackers, and a wedge of laughing cow cheese. Total calories?

I've got about 350.

No mayo chicken salad: 150 calories
Whole Wheat Sandwich Thin: 100 calories
Whole Wheat Ritz Crackers (5): 70 calories
Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge: 35 calories
Baby Carrots (1/2 cup...but seriously, don't measure. Go nuts on the carrots!): 25 calories

...and lots and lots of protein! (39 grams! 12 g of fat and 51 g of carbs)

So here's the recipe for the chicken salad...

No Mayo Chicken Salad (adapted from The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook)

Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/3 cup (or so) red apple, diced
1/3 cup (or so) seedless grapes, halved
1/3 cup (or so...seriously a little extra is fine! Fruits and veggies are in the more the merrier camp) celery, sliced into small pieces.
2 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp milk (its only a Tbsp, don't worry about what type, whatever you keep in stock)
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard (or to taste, I'm not a big Dijon fan)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Grill the chicken (or bake, or buy pre-cooked, whatever works...I grilled it on the Foreman) with a little bit of salt and pepper on it. Let it cook and then slice or shred into about 1" chunks.

Whisk the milk, yogurt, mustard, and olive oil together in a big glass or plastic bowl.

Add the chicken, fruit and celery into the bowl and toss, toss, toss.

Stick it in the fridge and serve whenever!
