THM lunch - chicken salad

(To read the explanation of the THM eating plan see my post on 1-9-18)
I don't have to tell anyone how to make chicken salad. To go along with the THM plan, you just need to decide if you want it to be an E or a S meal.

Cook your chicken however you like - boil, bake, or even use rotisserie from a store. I like to keep mine in an E setting so I use celery, some cranberries and bell pepper - I like yellow, red or orange better than green in this dish.



Then I mix it with Kraft's fat free mayo. That might not be my first choice in flavors but I have gotten used to it.  If you want to make it a S you could use regular mayo (Duke's does not have any sugar) and some nuts.

You need something to have with that chicken salad. Most breads are not on this plan (I will discuss some that are later). Here is a great alternative:


This can be ordered from Amazon and it is freshly made before they ship it. The wrap itself is FP (fuel pull) because it only has 1.5 g fat and 4 carbs when cut in half. We order 3 packs at a time and I cut them in half when they arrive.


Then I wrap the halves in foil and return them to the bag to put in the freezer.


 You can cut one of the halves into 8 pieces and put them on parchment paper to microwave for a minute and then turn into nice cracker/chip pieces to have with soup, taco salad, chili, etc These have made a big positive difference in our eating plan.
