Whole30 Classic Chicken Salad

One of my favorite things to make for quick lunches is this Whole30 Classic Chicken Salad made with just five ingredients. It’s Whole30 compliant when eaten in a lettuce wrap and honestly tastes like the real deal. Not on Whole30? Enjoy it in a sandwich or with crackers and veggies!

Just Five Ingredients

Lunch meals can be hard for me. I often find myself snacking on nuts and veggies (and a second cup of coffee) in the afternoon. It’s because I rarely want to take the time to cook or put together a balanced meal. This Whole30 Classic Chicken Salad solves all my lunchtime problems by being easy to throw together. Plus, it is made up of only five natural, simple ingredients!

Whole30 Classic Chicken Salad

Give yourself 30 minutes and you’ve got lunches prepped for the week. When I’m on Whole30, I use the Chicken Salad to make lettuce wraps or top over a large bed of spinach. When I’m not on Whole30, you can bet I grab a big plate of celery and Simple Mills crackers and dig in.

Ingredients

1. Cook your chicken and prep other ingredients while you wait. I boiled my chicken on the stove then shredded it once ready.
