Behold a sugar free keto chicken salad that’s keto friendly and low carb! Chicken breast is always super tasty but when paired with mayo and dill relish it’s truly out of this world. I like mine as a main dish with or without a side. I have seen people use them in lettuce wraps, topped on crackers, or even into a sandwich. All of those are low carb or have keto friendly options and substitutes. Let’s make this simple and easy recipe together that’s only 4g net carbs per serving!

The Best Keto Chicken Salad

  • Southern Style, just like mom made
  • Made with chicken breast
  • Plenty of fat from using healthy mayonnaise

How To Make Keto Chicken Salad-Step By Step

  1. First, you want to start out either boiling or slow cooking your chicken. You’ll want your chicken tender enough to easily pull apart. Of course, boiling your chicken will be the fastest option. But, say you want to make it later, you can put it in a crock pot and it’ll be ready to pull when you’re ready.
  2. After chicken is tender, pull chicken with forks. You can see in the recipe video what this looks like.
  3. Luckily, everything else is simply toss in and mix. Add in your mayo. Depending on how creamy you like it you can adjust the amounts.
  4. Next, add in your dill relish.
  5. Finally, the secret ingredient for the final flavor is a little mustard. Yes, I was shocked too.

Helpful Recipe Tips

  • I have also used chicken thighs instead of chicken breast. The chicken thighs have a bit more fat than the breast. This is one difference between dark meat and white meat chicken.
  • I personal use an avocado oil based mayo. Chosen Foods and Primal Kitchen are the two that I stand by.
  • If you ask is mayo keto friendly? Yes it is, to my knowledge mayo doesn’t normally have sugar in it but to be safe always read your ingredient list. The two I mentioned above do not.

Macros

Below is a full nutritional label via Cronometer. There’s no way to tell how much one person may choose to eat at a time especially while snacking. So, the label reads for 1/4th pound for each serving that comes out to only 4g net carbs.

Hi, I'm Darius. I am aware that I'm rather young but I started caring about my health years ago. I think it's truly important because at a young age I knew the food they were feeding us was complete b.s, can I curse up here?
