One of the biggest hurdles my nutrition clients have is finding ways to increase protein. It's a must for weight loss and something we need as we age!
I work with clients to identify ways they can add protein to their meals and snacks, and this recipe is an easy way to do that.
Meal Prep High Protein Chicken Salad
Quick to prep, this meal prep takes just 10 minutes and it's insanely delicious! You get a nice crunch from the bell pepper and slight sweetness from the grapes.
The sage and thyme give it a touch of freshness. I love sneaking in herbs and spices for depth and flavor. You don't know they're there, but you miss them when they're not!
So, now that my lunches are prepped for the week, I'm of to get fancy for tonight's black tie event with the guy. Have a great weekend!

What I Used For The Recipe
I made this for a quick grab and go and for weekends for a cool lunch. But...I used powdered sage and thyme and have to say I was not a fan. Way too overpowering with seasoning for this. Maybe I didn't understand that it should have been fresh or dried instead of powdered. I would make it again if there was a different seasoning discipline. I was thinking maybe add some buffalo sauce to kick it up??? Easy to assemble.
Powdered and dry seasonings are accurate. However, some individuals are very sensitive to seasonings and just depending on the person it may not be for your taste buds. Some individuals even have genetically a disposition to being adverse to certain seasonings. You can either omit them or I have a buffalo chicken salad version of this here: https://skinnyfitalicious.com/greek-yogurt-buffalo-chicken-salad/
Try dill and ranch seasoning. I also like chopped celery and apple in mine!
Thank You so vey much for these recipes. I would be lost without them
Hi Megan. My name is Jason from Mississippi. I was looking for some high protein recipes the other night that could be made with chicken salad and your site was suggested. After navigating through your site I was left very impressed. Your site, very professionally managed, very informative but I can also see the time, care and effort you put into it and that tells me that there is a individuality about you that many of your contemporaries don't. And that sets your site apart from the rest. Thank you for the work and dedication you put into your craft so that your followers can be better informed about their healthy food choices. I was wondering if you had a cook book of your own recipes? After a long and grueling last two years, health wise. I am finally ready to start my exercise program and I would like to incorporate the healthiest, high protein meals I can find for lunch and evening meals. You see,,, I suffered a heart attack two years ago and as a result of my heart attack I lost most of my vision(about 80%)when I hemoraged during the heart attack and ruptured all the nerves and blood vessels in both eyes. Finally after two years I have gotten most of my vision back. So my commitment to dieting is not just about a diet or weight reduction but I know that this will be a lifestyle change from here on out.
Thank You for what you do and keep up the excellent work..... Jason
Hi Jason! Thanks for commenting and sharing your story here. I'm sure many other readers can relate to your health journey. Just know you have the power to turn this around for yourself. I DO have a cookbook being released July 2020. Follow me on my Facebook page and Instagram because pre-orders will be happening soon!
I would use less sage and thyme because the amount in the recipe is overpowering imho. Otherwise, the recipe is solid! Thanks!
How much is a serving size?
1/4 of the recipe is a serving.
Can I use dried sage and thyme for this?
I'm sure any herbs would be great!
I just love your colourful and healthy meals. Keep em coming.
Aww thank you so much!
