Chicken is one of the most popular types of meats to cook and eat in your

improve quality, flavour and its nutritional value. Some of the most popular
Chicken dishes include chicken curry and chicken devel.
But chicken can be added to many other meals and snacks to add great
flavour and protein value. One of the most common ways to add chicken
would be to a healthy salad. Chicken salad is probably one of the most
popular salads throughout the world, thanks to its great nutritional value and
easy to assemble in the kitchen.
Chicken salad has now become a popular dish that is in high demand around
the world. Some of the great ways you can prepare this dish include the

Chicken salads are a great starting dish to prepare for beginners to cooking
thanks to the sheer ease in preparation and quick time to prepare. These
salads can be made quickly and can fit in perfectly around your busy daily
schedule, whilst still getting the required nutrition to stay healthy.
Preparing a chicken salad is one of the quickest meals you can prepare and
will have you feeling great after eating, unlike many other fast-food options.
The only decision you will have to make is whether you roast the chicken
yourself or buy the roasted chicken from the store first.

#1 CLASSIC CHICKEN SALAD

The classic chicken salad is a great option if you are on the go or hosting a
party. It’s a dish that is great for any occasion and sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
So, let’s see how to prepare a classic chicken salad.
Classic Chicken Salad Recipe
● 1 heap cup of baked chicken breast (skin removed and chopped)
● 1/4 cup of finely diced celery
● 2 tablespoons of finely diced red onion
● 2 tablespoons of avocado-based oil
● 1/4 teaspoon of salt
● 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper
The first step, take a big pot and put your roasted chicken in followed by a
quarter cup of finely diced celery, two tablespoons of finely diced red onion, ¼
teaspoon of salt, a little black pepper and two tablespoons of avocado-based
oil. Then mix the contents of the pot together thoroughly.
You will notice from the ingredients and directions above we will be replacing
highly processed deed oils typically used in restaurants and grocery stores
with avocado-based oils. By making this switch, the salad will be much
healthier as the type of oils found in the grocery store salads has been proven
to cause inflammation in the body.
By using the avocado oil this will then become the base of your meal creating
a much healthier end-product.
