Hot Chicken Salad, courtesy of my stepmom, Myra

This recipe came to be quite a surprise. My stepmom served it to us one night and I fell in love with it. I modified it a tad bit, just to reduce unnecessary saturated fat intake, but it is still delicious as can be. It can be served alone in a bowl, or in a low-carb whole wheat tortilla wrap.

Ingredients:

Preheat over to 350

3 c. cubed, cooked chicken breast
1 small onion, diced
1 can water chestnuts, drained
1/2 c. sliced almonds (unsalted)
3 ribs celery, diced
1/2 c. fat-free cheddar cheese
1/2 c. light mayo (or enough to blend with ingredients)

Mix all together and pour into a baking dish. Sprinkle additional cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Goes great with a tall glass of organic fat-free milk. Enjoy!
