Make this BLT Chicken Salad for a satisfying, quick lunch or light dinner. It combines tender chicken with classic bacon, lettuce, and tomato flavors in a creamy dressing. This recipe is perfect for meal prep and ready fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup diced ripe tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 cup diced celery for crunch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bacon: Cook the bacon until crisp. Drain the fat and crumble the bacon into small pieces. Set aside.
  2. Combine the dressing ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Mix the salad base: Add the cooked, shredded chicken to the dressing mixture. Stir well to coat the chicken completely.
  4. Fold in vegetables and bacon: Gently fold in the chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, and crumbled bacon. If you are using celery, add it now.
  5. Chill or serve: For best flavor, cover the salad and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to combine.
  6. Serve the BLT Chicken Salad on lettuce cups, crackers, or between slices of bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, serve this salad in large lettuce cups instead of bread.
  • If you are making this for meal prep, keep the lettuce separate until just before eating to maintain its crispness.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken to make this recipe even faster, helping you achieve a 15-minute meal.
