Is Chicken Salad Chick Broccoli Salad Recipe Healthy?

The answer to the question of whether Chicken Salad Chick Broccoli Salad is healthy or not depends on the ingredients you use and the amount you use. Broccoli salad can be a healthy and nutritious option.

The type of chicken you use, as well as whether or not you use the bacon bits, will affect the nutrition of the salad. If you use breast meat (as opposed to dark meat or chicken cooked with the skin on), the salad will have less cholesterol and saturated fat.

Preparing your Chicken for Chicken Salad Chick Broccoli Salad Recipe

You can use the instructions below to cook your chicken for your Chicken Salad Chick Broccoli Salad Recipe or if you want to use shredded chicken instead, I have another recipe that shows you how to prepare it.

What you will need

• 16 ounces boneless chicken breast
• 1 half lemon, sliced
• 1/4 small onion, peeled
• 1 large garlic clove, crushed
• 1 bay leaf
• 8-10 whole black peppercorns
• 1 handful fresh parsley
• 1 1/4 tsp salt
• water to cover the chicken by 1 inch

Boiled Chicken Instructions 

• The first step is to bring the chicken breasts to room temperature for around 30 minutes before gently pounding them to equal out the thickness.
  
• Gather the items for the poaching liquid in the meantime, which includes slicing the lemons, cutting the onion, and pressing the garlic.
  
• Now, add a few cups of water to a large pot and toss in the salt, then add the chicken breasts in a single layer to the pot, not stacked on top of each other.
  
• Then, along with extra water, add the remaining ingredients until the chicken is covered by 1 inch.
  
• Place the pot over medium heat and allow the contents to come to a simmer; a nice trick is to give the pan a gently shake every now and then to help disperse the heat evenly. Then reduce the heat to low and allow the chicken softly and slowly simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes, checking with a meat thermometer to determine if the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 170 degrees F.
  
• If you don’t have a meat thermometer, pierce the chicken with a knife or fork and make sure the juices run clear rather than pink.
  
• Finally, remove the chicken from the poaching liquid and set aside to cool fully before storing or using in the Chicken Salad Chick Broccoli Salad Recipe.

Preparing your Bacon bits for Chicken Salad Chick Broccoli Salad Recipe

Now that we’ve seen how to correctly prepare the chicken for the Chicken Salad Chick Broccoli Salad Recipe, it’s time to move on to the bacon. I have a distinct recipe for Arby’s Brown Sugar Bacon that you might like to try, but I’ll present the instructions here as well.

What you will need

• 1 pound Thick Cut Bacon

Bacon bits Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• If your bacon is frozen, thaw it about 2/3 of the way before using, or freeze it for around 30 minutes if it isn’t.
• Now arrange your bacon pieces directly on top of one another in thin heaps thin enough to cut through with your knife.
• After that, cut the bacon strips in half lengthwise to make them thinner, then cut horizontally into chunks, keeping in mind that these bacon bits will shrink when cooked.

• After that, place the cut bacon bits in a cast iron pan and heat it over medium-high heat on the stove for a couple of minutes to heat the pan and separate any chunks of bacon.
• Then, transfer your cast iron pan to the oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes at 425 degrees F, checking and stirring the pan every 5-7 minutes or so.
• Finally, drain the bacon bits on paper towels when they’re done, and you’re ready to use them in the Chicken Salad Chick Broccoli Salad Recipe.

Keto Broccoli Salad

Can broccoli be enjoyed by keto dieters? Oh, we’re well aware of this. It’s a nutritional powerhouse, with 1 cup of broccoli providing the same amount of vitamin C as an orange, not to mention fiber, potassium, and even protein.

But, more importantly, it tastes fantastic — as long as it’s prepared correctly. This dish is one of those right ways, in our opinion.
