I love this chicken salad because of the pop of flavor from the added fruit in the salad. You can choose to use chopped pineapple, mango or kiwi (or you can use a combination of those). Chopped jicama adds a desirable crunch to the salad too. Using a purchased roasted chicken from your market makes this roasted chicken salad so easy to prepare too!
Ingredients needed for Roasted Chicken Salad:
Roasted Chicken chopped fruit (mango, pineapple and/or kiwi) chopped jicama green onion Boston lettuce leaves for serving
Note: It’s suggested that you serve this salad in lettuce leaves, but you can certainly choose to serve it over mixed greens. Or if you’d like to tuck the salad inside of a pita or croissant, you can do that too!
Ingredients needed for Creamy Lime Dressing:
mayonnaise or Greek Yogurt lime zest and lime juice garlic Jerk, Mediterranean or Greek seasoning salt
It’s a simple and flavorful dressing that pairs well with the chicken and fruit.
How to adapt Roasted Chicken Salad to be Weight Watchers friendly:
Use Greek yogurt in place of the mayonnaise! The roasted chicken is the only thing in the recipe that counts for points. If you choose to use your own baked or roasted chicken breast, then the point count can be reduced to zero for this recipe. If you use the roasted chicken, plan to count 3 points per serving for any color WW plan. We’ve all been eating so much comfort food lately. So it’s time to add a healthy recipe or two into the mix. Try this roasted chicken salad, and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
