Chicken Salad Recipes are fantastic meal to make for health and wealth. It’s quick, easy and super healthy if done right.

When buying chicken I advise you go a little over your normal budget and buy chicken that is well raised and fed. I think the ethical side of this outweighs cost.

Then for salad ingredients, make sure they are fresh and look to use things like rocket, spinach, carrots and generally veggies and salad stuff that contains great vitamins and minerals.

Ok some quick chicken salad recipes ideas.

Preparing the chicken.

Cut a few medium sized organic free range chicken breast into small strips.

Grill on medium heat for around 15-20 mins or until cooked completely through.

Leave to cool covered on the counter and refrigerate once at room temperature.
