Looking for a quick, protein-packed meal that doesn’t sacrifice flavor or freshness? This High-Protein Chicken Salad is everything you want in a light yet satisfying dish — loaded with lean chicken, crisp veggies, creamy avocado, and a touch of cheese 🧀. Perfect for meal prep, post-workout fuel, or a balanced lunch that keeps you energized throughout the day 💪.
This salad combines crisp iceberg lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and creamy avocado with tender cubes of chicken breast. The grated carrots add a hint of sweetness, while a sprinkle of low-fat cheddar gives it just enough richness.
Feel free to top it off with your choice of Red Wine Vinaigrette for a tangy kick or Cucumber Ranch for something more creamy and refreshing.
That’s it — no cooking required if you already have your chicken and eggs prepared! 🔪🥚
✨ Upgrade your protein – Try grilled turkey or shredded rotisserie chicken for a flavor twist.
🥑 Keep avocados fresh – Add them right before serving to prevent browning.
🥕 Add crunch – Sprinkle in sunflower seeds or toasted almonds.
🧊 For meal prep – Store ingredients separately and toss together just before eating.

Great balance of macros. I meal prepped this for 3 days and it held up well in the fridge. Might try it with grilled turkey next time.
