High Protein Chicken Salad
A quick, protein-packed chicken salad that comes together in minutes and works for lunch, meal prep, or a high-protein snack.

This high-protein chicken salad has become one of my go-to lunches when I want something quick, satisfying, and packed with flavor. It’s creamy without being heavy, full of crunch from fresh veggies, and perfectly balanced with lean protein to keep energy steady all afternoon. Serve it tucked into warm pita bread, over crisp greens, or straight from the bowl… no judgment here. Simple, nourishing, and so good you’ll find yourself making it on repeat.
