Some days, cooking feels like a hobby… and other days?
It feels like a chore you absolutely did not sign up for.
That’s when this Lazy Girl Chicken Salad swoops in to save the day.
It’s creamy, crunchy, protein-packed, and wonderfully low-carb — perfect for diabetics, keto followers, or anyone who wants something delicious with almost zero effort.
Best part?
It’s made with simple, everyday ingredients you probably already have sitting in your fridge.
🥣 Ingredients (Your Way!)
This salad is totally customizable, but here’s the classic base:
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works beautifully)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (use light or avocado mayo if preferred)
- 1 tbsp Dijon or yellow mustard
- 1–2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional add-ins: dill pickle relish, chopped nuts, grapes (not low-carb), paprika, boiled egg
🚀 How to Make It
(If we can even call this “making” food…)
1. Dump everything in a bowl.
Chicken, mayo, mustard, celery, onion — all of it.
2. Stir.
Seriously… just mix until creamy.
3. Taste + adjust.
More mayo if too thick, more mustard if you want tangy, more salt if needed.
4. Chill or serve immediately.
Eat with a fork, in lettuce cups, on low-carb wraps, or stuffed in celery stalks.
Done! Lunch for the next 2–3 days is ready. ✔️
