Quick and easy Dill Chicken Salad. Why get store-bought keto chicken salad when making your own healthy version is easy, inexpensive, and way more delicious!
The perfect quick keto lunch: Dill Chicken Salad
This Whole30 Chicken salad recipe has been a game changer for me! I have been eating on repeat at least 3 times a week. For the last couple of months I had been buying this delicious chicken salad from our local grocery store deli out of pure ease. We recently moved and it was easier to just grab something that was ready to eat than it was to cook. Every time I bought it, I felt a little guilty because I knew that I could make a better tasting, cleaner ingredient version for way cheaper.
Well, I finally did and this was the end result. I will never eat the store bought Dill Chicken Salad again. It is super easy to make and has minimal ingredients. It is really low in carbs, coming in at just over 1 net carb per serving. It doesn't get much lower than that.

Description
My favorite way to cook the chicken for this recipe is to pan-sear it in butter. It gives it excellent flavor and makes the chicken incredibly juicy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, cooked and cubed
- ½ cup diced celery (one large rib)
- ⅓ cup finely chopped onion
- ¾ cup mayonnaise, more to taste (get my Whole30 compliant Mayo recipe here)
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill OR 3 teaspoons dried dill
- sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, celery, onion, mayonnaise, Dijon, dill, sea salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Serve on fresh lettuce leaves or just dig right in!

I made this today and it was great! I wouldn't change a thing. I used a roasted chicken. I will definitely make this again!

This is a lunch staple for me now! It's great. I might even mash up a boiled egg in it next time.

So I had some extra chicken leftover, and figured I'd sauté it up and make this while husband and son were out of the house. My initial thought was "how good could it be, it's chicken salad!" Well, it WAS AWESOME. Wow, this was absolutely amazing. I absolutely loved it. Just the right amount of everything. I just ate it by itself, no lettuce or anything.
