Keto Chicken BLT Salad
Serves 4
Ingredients
-
1 lb boneless chicken thighs
-
1 oz. butter
-
½ lb bacon
-
4 oz. cherry tomatoes
-
10 oz. Romaine lettuce
-
salt and pepper
Garlic mayonnaise
-
¾ cup mayonnaise
-
½ tbsp garlic powder
Instructions
-
Mix mayonnaise and garlic powder in a small bowl and set aside.
-
Fry the bacon slices in butter until crispy. Remove and keep warm. Save the grease in the pan.
-
Shred the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Fry in the same skillet as the bacon until golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
-
Rinse and shred the lettuce; be sure to use a clean cutting board and knife (different from the one used when handling the raw chicken). Place the lettuce on a plate and top with chicken, bacon, tomatoes, and a hearty dollop of garlic mayonnaise.
Tip!
For a shortcut, sub in shredded rotisserie chicken. Then the bacon fat can be used to make a yummy bacon vinaigrette for the salad. (Just add a little vinegar and salt and pepper!)
