Canned Chicken Salad Recipe

June 12, 2020 by Faith 40 Comments

This Canned Chicken Salad Recipe is easy to make in less than 10 minutes! It’s creamy like tuna salad and seasoned simply with seasoned salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. This version is healthier than most and replaces most of the mayo with Greek yogurt!

I remember my mom having her friends over for ladies’ luncheons when I was a kid. She’d make mint-flavored iced tea or lemonade to drink and fruit salad for dessert. She’d usually serve one of two things for lunch: a pretty arranged salad on a bed of greens along with a couple of sides (one of which was always cottage cheese with chives, which was her favorite), or tuna salad sandwiches.…

Creamy Chicken Casserole (Low Carb)

April 21, 2020 by Faith Leave a Comment

This Creamy Chicken Casserole is the low carb version of a cross between chicken pot pie and shepherd’s pie! It has a rich and creamy chicken and vegetable filling, and is topped with cheesy mashed cauliflower. Recently I’ve been on the lookout for two types of recipes: 1) recipes that use pantry, freezer, and fridge staples, and 2) recipes that freeze well so I can restock my stash of freezer friendly meals. This Creamy Chicken Casserole fits the bill in both ways! And not to mention, it’s healthy comfort food that the whole family will love....

Thai Noodles Recipe with Vegetables and Chicken (Soy Sauce Noodles)

December 30, 2019 by Faith 14 Comments

This Thai Noodles Recipe with Vegetables and Chicken (Soy Sauce Noodles) was inspired by my trip to Thailand! It’s packed with flavor thanks to a sweet, salty, umami sauce, and is loaded with vegetables and chicken. Sometimes something happens that you just can’t get out of your head. It could be someone you meet or a place you visit, or even something that seems so much more mundane like a food you eat. But for whatever reason it speaks to you....

Healthy Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry Recipe

October 28, 2019 by Faith Leave a Comment

Healthy Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry Recipe whips up in just 30 minutes with only 11g net carbs per serving! It has a sweet and sour savory garlic and ginger sauce and lots of veggies. Some nights, take-out for dinner sounds really, really good. But if you’re mindful of what you eat (because unless you’re getting a salad it’s hard to keep take-out healthy) or if you’re limiting excessive spending (because take-out can really add up), ordering out isn’t the best option. And let’s not forget that once you give in and order take-out on a super busy night, it’s a lot easier to […]...

October 22, 2018 by Faith 5 Comments

This Low Carb Cheesy Chicken Casserole with Poblano Peppers is a fun Tex-Mex twist on your basic chicken casserole!

Not only is it mild in flavor and aroma (unlike some things like lamb and certain types of seafood), but it’s a wonderful blank slate to showcase other flavors. Chicken lends itself well to any number of cuisines, can be prepared in a variety of different ways, and is one of the most crowd-pleasing meats....

This flavorful and juicy Low Carb Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe is a great way to celebrate the last grilling days of the season, but it’s equally delicious cooked in the oven year-round. In the seemingly endless variety of ways to cook chicken, it’s fun to take a little global inspiration. With a complex blend of savory spices, a touch of heat, depth from soy sauce, and the freshness of lime, Jamaican Jerk Chicken is a hard dish to pass up! Note that in terms of the heat level, I kept it more on the mild side as written, but feel free to adjust the heat […]...
