20-Minute Chipotle Chicken Salad

Hi fit foodies! Looking for a healthy option for your meal prep? Try this nutritious and flavorful version of chipotle chicken salad!

But what is a chipotle? It actually dates as far back as the Aztecs. It comes from the Nahuatl word “chilpotle” which means “smoked chili pepper.” It’s often made from red jalapeños. They undergo drying and smoking as part of the preservation process.

Chipotle alone has a lot of health benefits. It can prevent some types of cancer. It can even reduce blood pressure, help manage diabetes, and protect the heart from disease.

Furthermore, it also helps with losing weight, improving the immune system, and digestion. Did I mention it helps with the nutritional absorption you get from food?

Lastly, chipotle can also protect people from cardiovascular issues and inflammatory problems. This makes it perfect for those who are older but want to stay healthy.

This chicken salad recipe is easy and quick to prepare. Aside from breasts, you can use other parts or even leftovers and toss them together with different vegetables.

The chicken salad and its chipotle dressing are not only yummy but they also provide nutrients. It’s a low-carb recipe that is rich in protein, calcium, and potassium.

Compared to other versions of this chipotle chicken, I prefer using the red onions for this recipe. Based on research studies, red onions are better than white onions in terms of nutrients.
