Need a quick and healthy recipe for dinner? Rotisserie Chicken Salad (with collagen, of course). On nights when you legit #canteven, this little puppy uses most of what you already have in your pantry and fridge to keep brain and body functioning with gut happy collagen, protein, amino acids, and just a few high fiber filling-me-slowly carbs.
2-3tbspFULL FAT Grass-fed Greek yogurt (I used Nancy’s) or Coconut Oil Mayo (I think this is closer to the real thing) or Avocado Oil Mayo (has a little aftertaste that’s not bad, just different)
¼cupCelery Stalk, diced
2tbspRed Onion, diced
2tbspSliced Almonds, Pecans, or Walnuts
2tspLemon Juice
⅛ Granny Smith Apple, diced
¼-½tspSalt
½tspBlack Pepper
½tspGarlic Powder
¼-½tspCayenne Powder
Apple Alternative: 2-3 thinly sliced radishes for a low-glycemic crunch
Serving Options
1cupCucumbers, Bell Peppers, Zucchini Slices
Butter Lettuce Leaves (for a “wrap” option)
Or low-carb spinach wrap for a traditional wrap option
Instructions
Remove skin from rotisserie chicken and cut into small pieces, and add to medium bowl
Combine collagen, yogurt, and lemon juice in a small bowl
Combine chicken, collagen/yogurt mixture, then fold in celery, onion, apple (or radish) and nuts
Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
Serve on desired veggie or wrap
Notes
Don’t discard the chicken carcass once you’ve taken the meat off the bones! Try making nutrient rich-brain-building homemade collagen bone broth soup with it.
