This chicken salad has been lunch on REPEAT the last three weeks. I love that it’s so easy to make and I actually look forward to eating it (cause you know... lunch struggles.) I typically eat about a cup of it for lunch paired with some greens, roasted root veggies and 🥑 Key to making it filling is making sure you’re eating enough (one cup = 30ish grams of protein) plus you can try pairing it with a healthy fat like avocado 🤙🏼 Recipe below👇🏼 1 lb organic chicken breast 3 stalks organic celery, chopped 1 organic opal apple, diced 1/4 cup olive oil (or mayo) 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon paprika Pepper to taste 1. Bake the chicken at 350 for 45-55 minutes or boil chicken for 15 minutes until cooked. 2. While the chicken is cooking, chop the celery and apple. 3. Once the chicken is cooked, chop and add it to a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days
