Low Carb Chicken Salad on Zucchini Chips
This low carb Chicken Salad with Pecans, Rosemary, and Grapes on Zucchini Chips, is easy to make, healthy, and SO delicious!
Servings: 2 main or 5 appetizer servings
Calories: 265kcal
Ingredients
- 4 ounces pre-cooked chicken breast chopped
- 1/4 cup Champagne grapes
- 1/4 cup pecans chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped purple cabbage
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or lactose free if needed for Low FODMAP
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise {I like Sir Kensingtons}
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 zucchini
- 1/2 yellow summer squash
Instructions
- Make the chicken salad by combining the chopped chicken, grapes, pecans, yogurt, mayonnaise, and rosemary in a medium mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Slice zucchini and summer squash in to ~1/4 inch rounds-you will have ~20 rounds or "chips". Place squash chips on a serving dish and top with chicken salad. Serve immediately, or store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
Low FODMAP Option
- Serve chicken salad plain or on low FODMAP bread. Up to 1/3 cup zucchini and up to 1 cup yellow summer squash is low FODMAP (per Monash app 8/10/23)
- Use lactose-free yogurt in place of regular Greek yogurt.
Ingredient Swaps
- If you can't find Champagne grapes, chopped red or green grapes will work well too.
- Are grapes not in season? Try chopped apples or mango.
- Use any favorite nuts or seeds in place of pecans if desired.
- Rosemary works well with this recipe, but feel free to experiment with other herbs-both fresh or dried.
Serving Suggestions
- No zucchini chips? This low-carb chicken salad tastes delicious on its' own.
- Serve it on bread for a sandwich.
- Enjoy it wrapped in lettuce leaves for another low carb option.
