Healthy Chicken Salad
1 can (12 ounces) chopped cooked Chicken
1/4 cup reduced-fat Mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons Mustard
1/2 teaspoon Seasoning Salt
1 Egg, boiled and cut up
1/2 cup chopped Pecans
1 small Apple, peeled, cored, and diced
2 stalks Celery, chopped
Mix all ingredients until well blended. Chill.
Serve on lettuce, bread, or with crackers.
Enjoy!
To make this recipe even healthier:
- Use your favorite salt-free seasoning (ex: Mrs. Dash) instead of seasoning salt
- Before chopping up the boiled egg, remove the yolk to decrease the fat and cholesterol
- Boil your own chicken (about 1- 1 1/2 cups) and chop it up
