Keto Chicken Salad with Avocado
Keto chicken salad that is loaded with flavors makes a healthy and satisfying summer lunch.
INGREDIENTS
Chicken:
- 2 boneless chicken thigh fillets
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sweet chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 cloves garlic
Salad:
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 cup purslane leaves
- Basil leaves
- ½ cup fresh dill
- A handful of cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 tablespoon olives
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon nigella seeds
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Avocado Dressing or more depending on your taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place the chicken fillets on a skillet. Pour ¼ cup water and cook them covered over medium low heat until they release water and then absorb almost all of it. Flip them over a few times during this time.
- Uncover and drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the chicken thighs. Add in garlic cloves. Season with salt, black pepper , sweet chili powder and thyme. Cook them covered until golden, flipping them over a few times.
- Arrange all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Sprinkle sesame seeds and nigella seeds over them. Drizzle olive oil and avocado dressing over the salad.
NOTES
I didn’t add any water to the avocado dressing this time so that I could have a thicker result and place it on the side of my salad.
