Fresh, light and quick to whip up. This BLTA Pesto Chicken Salad is great for those busy weekday lunches. It is also terrific for weekly meal prep.
This pesto chicken salad is one of my favorite quick and easy go-to lunches. Easy to prepare, flavorful and portable. In my book that is a winning combination. I always have chicken breasts cooked and prepped in the refrigerator so that I can whip up a batch in a moments notice. This is also amazing as a low carb sandwich wrap when wrapped in low carb and gluten free tortilla. Check out a couple of my other favorite low carb chicken salad combinations. Dill Chicken Salad and Curried Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocados.

April 4, 2016 at 8:20 pmI don’t know why, but every time I press the ‘follow’ button, it say there is a problem. I have reloaded Pinterest several times an tried again, but it just will NOT let me follow you. I have done it in my Android phone, my HP comp, my Acer, and my Dell. I am giving you this feed back because you are worthy of following. Your recipes are good, you give Cals, Protein, Fat & Carb info AND you give good information. Just an FYI, it may be a Pinterest glitch you might need to call about. Just saying. Hope you become ‘followable’ soon. Thank you for recipes. ????

July 11, 2017 at 9:49 amI just made this minus the avocado ( because I didn’t have any avocado atm) and it is delicious. I may have used a bit less pesto and mayo as I only had 7 ounces of chicken cooked but wow so yummy and good. ????
