Chicken Salad is such a common recipe - whether you're bringing it to a pot luck, eating it for lunch, or grabbing it for a mid afternoon snack, it's one of the most versatile and adaptable recipes out there!

Here's our basic Keto version. We love the pecans and celery for a little extra flavor and crunch! Add your favorites, or just eat it this way! Enjoy!

The Keto Dad Tips and Tricks

  • I love to cook the chicken in the instant pot with poultry seasoning - super easy and it shreds well. You can cook it any way you like though! Adding the extra seasoning when you cook it gives it great flavor!

  • Shred or dice the chicken - whichever you prefer!

  • Make it a little in advance and let it sit in the fridge for all the flavors to mix together

  • Watch your additional add-ins. Grapes might be tasty, but can add a lot of carbs and sugar fast!

  • Want a little variety? You can even heat your chicken salad up and serve it warm on toasted 90 second bread!
