Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks celery stalks
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup grapes
- 8 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the cooked chicken cool slightly, then dice it into small cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Chop the celery stalks into small pieces and dice the red onion finely.
Add the diced chicken, chopped celery, and red onion to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture.
Chop the parsley finely and halve the grapes, adding them both to the chicken salad.
Mix everything together until well combined.
Serve the chicken salad on romaine lettuce leaves as a bread substitute, folding the leaves like a taco or wrapping them around the salad for a sandwich effect.
