Ingredients
-
1 large Chicken Breast
-
3/4 cup Cottage Cheese
-
2 Celery Stalks, diced
-
2 Green Onions, sliced
-
1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
-
3 tbsp Chopped Fresh Jalapeno
-
5 slices Turkey Bacon, cooked and crumbled
-
1/2 cup Sour Cream
-
1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Jalapeno
-
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro
-
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
-
1/2 tsp Garlic Salt
-
Juice of 2 Limes
Instructions
-
Cook the chicken breast using your preferred method: bake, boil, or grill. Once fully cooked, let it cool slightly, then shred and chop into small pieces.
-
Dice the celery, slice the green onions, and finely chop the fresh jalapenos.
-
Cook the turkey bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
-
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, celery, onions, jalapenos, turkey bacon, cottage cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well to mix evenly.
-
In a food processor or blender, add sour cream, additional chopped jalapenos, cilantro, onion powder, garlic salt, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Pour the jalapeno dressing over the chicken mixture. Toss until all ingredients are coated evenly.
-
Chill the salad for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
-
Serve as is, over salad greens, or inside keto wraps.
Notes
-
For a milder version, remove jalapeno seeds or reduce the amount used.
-
Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut if you don’t want to cook chicken breast.
-
Do not freeze; the dairy ingredients will separate.
