Keto BLT Chicken Salad

If you’re like me, dinner time can sneak up on you. This meal-time hour often leaves me staring into the refrigerator wondering what quick meal I can pull together.

Well, wonder no more!

This delicious Keto friendly BLT Chicken Salad is as easy to make as it is healthy to eat. With springtime officially here and summer around the corner, this is the perfect recipe to welcome in our warmer weather.

It has such a fresh taste from all the herbs in the dressing and the Cajun seasoning coating the chicken. It’s time to switch from our hearty stews and meat and potato meals of the winter to refreshing salads this spring.

Once you try this recipe, it will quickly become a favorite, and maybe even a new staple dinner meal. The bacon gives it a nice crunch, while all of the vegetables add a nice pop of color and crispness that will be sure to please.

And as a vegetarian option, this salad can also be enjoyed even while omitting the chicken and bacon.

To Make Blackened Chicken BLT Salad

Begin by tossing your chicken  with olive oil and Cajun seasoning and cook briefly on low heat in a skillet.

Your bacon can be cooked simply in a microwave for 2-4 minutes to the crispness you prefer. Use paper towels to absorb the excess oil then cut up in small pieces and set aside.

Dice all your vegetables that are listed above.

In a large bowl combine remaining ingredients: tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber and onion. Top the salad with bacon crumbles, diced chicken and crumbled cheese.

To Make Dressing

Combine sour cream, whip cream, miracle whip and lemon juice. Whisk ingredients in bowl until evenly combined. Stir in garlic, cilantro, dill and salt and pepper.  Top salad with dressing and Enjoy!

Chicken BLT Salad

Now, to end our dinner-night dilemma, this Keto BLT Chicken Salad can be made ahead, with the chicken and bacon stored together and salad stored in a separate container.

For those days when you have the extra time to prep dinner ahead of time, this one can be prepared in a breeze and make the dinner hour go so smoothly. Stare into the refrigerator again?  I think not!

And, if you are willing to go the extra mile, pop in a few extra chicken breasts in the oven, and they can be used for another quick weeknight meal.
