INTRODUCTION

As a busy mum, I fell in love withpreparing chicken meals. They are a relatively quick and easy to make, theyare also healthier substitutes to red meat, especially when the skin and excessfat have been removed. My family loves them too.
I shared some of my favorite baked chickenrecipes in my first cookbook '31 Superb & Healthy Baked Chicken Recipes YouCan Rely On'. However, this meant that we often had left-overs.
In order to use these up, we have very oftenturned to easy chicken salad recipes. Chicken salads are not only healthy andnutritious, but they are also quick and easy to prepare while preserving theirexcellent flavor. This provides a refreshing alternative to the typical waysof preparing chicken.
Chicken salad recipes are ideal as lighthealthy lunch or dinner meals. The quality of your ingredients will have agreat impact on the outcome of your dishes, so please do not compromise onthis.
The greatest benefits of preparing yourchicken salads in the comfort of your home is that you have control over thequality of your ingredients and you can pick and choose your flavors withoutlimiting yourself to the supermarket varieties.
You also have greater control over thecaloric content of your salads, especially if you are watching your weight.
