Garlicky Feta Broccoli Chicken Salad
@ketorecipes GARLICKY FETA BROCCOLI CHICKEN SALAD This is one of those easy meals that packs a ton of protein, flavor, and its super easy to prep in advance. . You can serve this as is, on top of sourdough, crackers, or even lettuce cups. The ratios below are what worked for me - you can add more or use less of any ingredient to your liking. . Here is how to make it: . 1.First is the sauce. This is as easy as it gets, but can take some time in the oven if you are using garlic confit. You can either use 4tbsp roasted garlic or 4-5 tbsp garlic confit. If making confit, you can add 1/3 to 1/2 cup garlic cloves to a small ramekin, fill to the top with olive oil, cover it, and put it in the oven at 275F for 2 hours. Remove, and let cool before using. . 2.Now that we have the garlic situation sorted out, let’s make the sauce. In a food processor add 4-5 tbsp of just the garlic confit, 4oz feta, 4 tbsp greek yogurt, 2 tbsp mayo, 2 tbsp white vinegar, 1/4 cup water, a generous pinch of salt, lots of fresh cracked black pepper. Process well, taste and adjust. . 3.Then, the salad. First, finely chop 6-8oz of raw broccoli and add it to a mixing bowl. . 4.Finely dice 2 baked chicken brsts (you can use thighs or rotisserie chicken here, too). Add it to the same bowl. . 5.Finely dice 1 red onion, add it to a smaller bowl, top with cold water, and mix a couple times over 5-10 minutes. Submerging them in cold water takes away that intense, sharp bite from the raw onion. After its soaked for a few minutes, strain and add to the same bowl as broccoli and chicken. . 6.Add as much sauce to the bowl as you want, toss everything together, give it a taste and adjust as you like. Then top with some more crumbled feta, some chili flakes, or any other topping you like. . ENJOY. . . . . #lowcarb #lowcarbrecipes #keto #ketorecipes #chickensalad #healthyrecipes #feta #healthyfoodshare
