Lazy Girl Chicken Salad
A 5-minute, low-carb, no-stress lunch that tastes way better than it should.
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.
🥣 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. ✔️
