Popcorn Chicken Salad Lunchbox

If you want to level up your chicken game, these chicken recipes are just for you! These recipes are a perfect lunchbox idea instead of eating the same meal every day. For this one, we’ll be making not one, not two, but THREE delicious popcorn chicken salad recipes. If you’re ready to prepare some scrumptious salad recipes, put on your apron and we’ll start by preparing the ingredients.

First, we’ll be making popcorn chicken. If you’re vegan and you don’t prefer chicken, you can swap out the chicken with some roasted tempeh or roasted cauliflower. Let’s start by cutting our chicken breast into one-inch bite-sized pieces. Season some panko bread crumbs with salt and pepper, then dredge your chicken in almond flour, egg, and the panko. Place your chicken on a baking rack and lightly spray them with olive oil to get that golden brown color. Bake in the oven for twelve to fifteen minutes until cooked through.

BUFFALO POPCORN CHICKEN SALAD

For the buffalo dressing, mix in Greek yogurt, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and chives together. In a meal prep container, assemble your salad with sliced radish, shredded carrots, chopped celery, diced tomato, chopped green lettuce, and popcorn chicken. Top it off with the buffalo dressing and enjoy!

TERIYAKI POPCORN CHICKEN SALAD

To assemble the salad, put in your chopped lettuce, diced tomato, shredded purple cabbage, mandarin oranges, diced or chopped cucumber in a meal prep container. For the dressing, mix in rice vinegar and teriyaki sauce. For this recipe, I used Anne Chung’s gluten-free teriyaki sauce. Pour in your dressing in the salad and enjoy your popcorn chicken salad recipe!
