Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by cooking the chicken breasts. You can poach, bake, or grill them until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. For poaching, bring a pot of water to a simmer, add the chicken breasts, and let them cook for about 15-20 minutes. For baking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the chicken breasts for about 20-25 minutes. For grilling, preheat your grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, allow the chicken breasts to cool slightly, then chop or shred them into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise salad dressing, vinegar, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and stevia leaf sweetener. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the dressing is smooth.
- Add the chopped chicken to the bowl with the dressing.
- Add the raisins and finely chopped celery to the bowl.
- Gently stir everything together until the chicken, raisins, and celery are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to a storage container with a lid. Refrigerate the salad for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the Low-Fat Sonoma Chicken Salad chilled. It can be enjoyed on its own, over a bed of greens, or as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
Tips:
- Here are some tips to ensure your Low-fat Sonoma Chicken Salad turns out perfectly:
1. Poach the Chicken: For the most tender chicken, poach the breasts until they are just cooked through. Overcooking can make the chicken dry.
2. Mix Well: Ensure that you thoroughly mix the dressing ingredients so that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the salad.
3. Chill Before Serving: Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld together.
4. Customize Your Salad: Feel free to add other ingredients like chopped apples, grapes, or nuts for added texture and flavor.
5. Store Properly: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze, as the texture of the salad may change.
