Spicy Chicken Salad
The easiest chicken salad recipe to keep in your fridge as a backup (or first-option!) meal or snack when you don’t have much time. You also have the option to make this un-spicy if that’s more your vibe.
Add to salads, eat with crackers or dipping veggies, or on bread for an open-faced sandwich.

Ingredients:
1 lb Shredded or pulled chicken breast
1.5-2 cups Whipped cottage cheese or plain greek yogurt (enough to bind it together)

Primal Kitchen Foods Chicken Dippin sauce
Trader Joe’s Peri-peri hot sauce
Springbone hot sauce (a must-have in my fridge!)

What to do:
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl except for the add-ins. Then, add your chopped veggies.
