Cottage Cheese Chicken Salad Sandwich
This Cottage Cheese Chicken Salad sandwich is made with cooked chicken, cottage cheese, a little bit of mayo, and grapes. The use of cottage cheese makes it healthier than traditional chicken salad, and it's an easy make-ahead lunch recipe that's loaded with protein.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 lb. whole milk cottage cheese* 16 oz.
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 cup red grapes sliced
- 1/2 cup celery thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp sliced almonds
- 2 tbsp dried cranberries
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 slices bread**
Instructions
- Cook chicken as you normally would. I like to boil mine in a large pot for 20 minutes or so. Then, use two forks to shred the chicken and place it into the bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir until the chicken is completely coated.
- Eat it as-is or in between two slices of bread and enjoy!
