Part 17 of turning every Chicken Salad Chick favorite into a macro-friendly version you can make at home! Up next is the much requested Dill-icious Diva, a limited-time seasonal flavor in the spring. And now you can make it all year long. It’s perfect lunch prep for the whole family. We all loved it! The guys actually did too and I like this one with toasted bread, with crackers, or stacked on a tomato slice.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 c cucumber, finely chopped (remove seeds before chopping to prevent sogginess)
3-4 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (about 3 lbs raw)
1 1/2 c nonfat Greek yogurt or blended smooth cottage cheese
4 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened or whipped cream cheese works too
3 T ranch seasoning
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
3 T fresh dill, chopped
STEPS
1)If you haven’t cooked your chicken, in a large stock pot place 3-4 chicken breasts and cover them with water. Just to cover them. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and turn down to low heat and cook covered on low for 15 min. Make sure it’s done and cooked through. To shred in blender, one breast at a time blend for 5 seconds or until shredded. Too long and you’ll have chicken baby food. It’s quick ha.
2)To make the chicken salad, add softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt to a bowl with the ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir or mix until completely smooth with no clumps. Add all the rest of the ingredients to the large bowl and stir well to combine. Makes about 7 - 1 cup servings. Store in fridge, good for up to 5 days.

Question…the nourishment information mentions cucumber and bacon, but neither are shown in the ingredients list. Cucumber is listed as the first step, but nothing specifically about bacon.

Sorry about that! I’ve made so many of these I do a lot of copy and pasting so it’s a mistake by me not editing from another chicken salad. I’ll get my website team to edit it. The cucumber is listed in step 1 but that’s part of the ingredient list. And I’ll remove bacon from the fat. The macros are correct!
