You can cook the chicken however you prefer: grilled, pan fried or even use a rotisserie chicken.

How should you serve this Paleo Chicken Salad?

If limiting carbs (like me) serve this chicken salad over a bed of lettuce or arugula. Or make into chicken salad lettuce wraps.

If carbs aren’t an issue, this chicken salad is great in tortilla wraps, sandwiches or over rice.

You’ll need a good Baking Dish and Meat Thermometer. For meal prep, I use these Glass Meal Prep Containers with Lids. Quality, sharp knives are always good to have in your kitchen. I use these Chef’s Foundry Ceramic Knives and LOVE them!
