We have decided to start a blog to share our recipes and to also keep them in a place we can easily access them. We hope you enjoy them and the little tid bits of our lives that we throw in. Most recipes will be based on primal principles although a few non-primal baked goods may slip in :)

Lunch this week


Chicken salad!

A change up from the usual roasted chicken. We wanted something that was quick and easy since we are both pretty busy at work and need something that we can just grab from the fridge.

We made 2 kinds. First a normal chicken salad and then an avocado chicken salad.

We baked 3 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once it was cooled we threw them in the KitchenAid with the flat beater attachment and put it on medium high until the chicken was shredded (yet another great thing the KitchenAid can do!).

We divided the chicken evenly into two bowls.

Regular Chicken Salad:
Shredded Chicken
Mayo (as much or as little as you like, we like ours with not too much mayo so I used about 3/4 of a cup)
Relish (again as much or as little as you like, we only used a spoonful)
Onion (again as much or as little as you like, we used about 1/4 cup)
Salt and Pepper

Avocado Chicken Salad:
Shredded Chicken
Mayo, 1-3 spoonfuls
1-2 avocados (we used 1)
Onion (again as much or as little as you like, we used about 1/4 cup)
The juice of half a lime
Salt and Pepper

YUM!
