Make this creamy BLT Chicken Salad for a satisfying, high-protein lunch or light dinner. It combines classic BLT flavors with tender chicken and comes together quickly, making it ideal for easy meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (use leftover chicken for speed)
  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce, crisp and dry
  • 1 cup diced ripe tomatoes
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 cup diced avocado

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon until crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels, then crumble it into small pieces. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, and crumbled bacon. If using, add the avocado now.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. This creates your creamy dressing.
  4. Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture.
  5. Gently fold all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated. Do not overmix.
  6. Serve immediately, or cover and chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. This recipe is perfect as a sandwich filling or served over greens.

Notes

  • For the quickest preparation, use rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked chicken breast.
  • If you are making this ahead for meal prep, keep the lettuce separate until just before serving to maintain its crunch.
  • To make this a Keto Chicken Salad, substitute the mayonnaise with a full-fat, low-carb alternative and omit any added sugar in the dressing.
  • This mixture makes an excellent high protein lunch filling for wraps or lettuce cups.
