Recipe of the Month - July 2010 - Grilled Chicken Salad with Grapes and Apples

Jul 1, 2010 @ 04:39 PM — by SEO Admin

Grilled Chicken Summer Salad with Grapes and Apples Makes 4 Servings This is a delicious cool summer salad that you can take to a picnic, serve up poolside, or enjoy on a warm summer night. I usually grill the chicken the night before, let cool, and refrigerate for assembly the next day. I cook the chicken either outside on a grill or indoors using a cast iron skillet. For those of you on the VLCD, omit the fruit and replace with chopped celery, cucumber, tomatoes, or sweet red onions. This is a higher fat recipe but the fat used is of good quality. Dont worry about the fat; we typically recommend patients eat a minimum of 25 grams of fat per day. If you are concerned, reduce the amount of avocado or omit walnuts. Ingredients: For the Chicken:

  • 1.25 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (uncooked)
  • 2 tsp. Made in Napa Valley Meritage Herb rub or an Herbs de Provence seasoning
  • Salt

This site stated the recipe was a high-protein treat. We do not agree. See the nutritional breakdown below. Each serving contains 14 grams of protein and 31 grams of net carbs (subtracting the fiber) - twice as many carbs than protein. Bottom Line - Each meal and snack should always contain more protein grams than carbohydrates grams per serving. Always read the labels and nutritional breakdown on recipes and food packages.

This is NOT a Key Diet approved meal.

Recipe: Mango Chicken Skewers: With Memorial Day weekend behind us, the summer season has officially begun. Time to fire up the grill and enjoy some healthy high-protein treats. Check out this recipe that c
