Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large boneless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

  • 1 large apple, cubed
  • 1 cup mayo (Whole30 homemade mayo or store bought)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 3 tablespoons red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 23 tablespoons orange juice concentrate
  • 2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

  3. Taste and add any additional orange juice concentrate (1 tablespoon at a time) or salt or pepper, as desired.
  4. Serve with butter lettuce, if desired, or eat as is.

Notes

  • Shredded Chicken: option to cook chicken breasts in your own kitchen or purchase a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
  • Mayo: highly recommend using this homemade mayo (paleo/Whole30) or this store-bought mayo is really good too.
  • Cranberries: if you can’t find Whole30 compliant cranberries, you can sub raisins – just read the labels.
  • Storage: Store in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
