Low Cal Mini Chicken Salad Sandwich Recipe

As we approach the end of January, the momentum we once had to start the new year strong might be dwindling. If eating healthy was on your list for 2019, then you might be starting to feel meal prep fatigue right about now (we feel ya!). Here’s a recipe that is healthy, easy and inexpensive.

This chicken salad is packed with protein and you can make enough to last you for the work week. It’s great for making a batch and portioning out for lunch.

• Boneless, skinless chicken breast (look for free-range or locally raised)

• Organic or locally made greek yogurt  (2%)
