Bacon-Apple Chicken Salad

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.

Everything’s better with bacon. Right? Enjoy this crunch-filled chicken salad. If you want even MORE crunch you can consider adding some chopped celery to the mix too.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1 whole rotisserie chicken from the deli (I get a plain one). Pull it apart and cut the meat into cubes. Toss the skin and the carcass. You’ll end up with about 4 cups of chicken.
• 1 bunch of green onions, chopped. (wash, trim and chop white and light green parts only)
• 1 large apple, chopped. (I use a big red variety and don’t peel it, just wash and chop and toss the core)
• 5-6 pieces of bacon cooked crispy
• 1 cup of mayo (approximate; depends on how creamy you like your chicken salad)
• Sea salt and pepper to taste. I use lots of pepper.
• I also dust my chicken salad with a whisper of cayenne. Not to make it hot. Just to give it a little brightness.

Instructions:

Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir.

Serve on top of a salad or toast one piece of a low-carb bread, butter it and serve open-face. Julian’s Bakery makes a nice low-carb whole wheat. I don’t eat it often but when I do I feel spoiled.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
