Low Carb Chicken Salad

Chicken Salad is a constant menu item at my house. Being so quick and easy it is perfect for a busy lifestyle. Plus you can make it ahead and always have something to grab and go when needed.

Chicken salad can be flavored in so many ways. This recipe brings together bacon and ranch for a truly indulgent chicken salad.

You can cook the chicken however you prefer: grilled, pan fried or even use a rotisserie chicken. My preferred method is to poach the chicken.
