I love Chicken Salad! It’s one of my most favorite lunches. But adding in roasted red bell peppers to make Red Bell Pepper Chicken Salad, kicks it up a notch!
This lunch is on the easy side using canned chicken but you can use rotisserie or shredded chicken as well!
Here is a photo of some of the ingredients…
I used the 3 lb can from Sam’s. After you drain it, it gives you about 2 lbs of chicken.
Next, you have to have the Mezzetta Red Bell Peppers, ok well you don’t HAVE to have them but it really makes this dish!!
Also, you want a good real mayo or you can make your own!!
Drain the chicken well.
Chop all the ingredients up well and add to the chicken.
Add the mayo, sweetener and spices!! Mix well. I use and LOVE KAL Liquid Stevia and I buy this bottle and it lasts a couple months…. Pure Stevia Liquid Extract – 4 oz – Liquid
<—click here (affiliate link). But you can use any sweetener you want too! You can also go to the Trim Healthy Mama store <– click to go to the store (affiliate link) and by an on plan sweetener like THM Sweet Blend which I LOVE and Pure Stevia or the Erythitol!!
Now for the breading, I took the recipe for the Bread in a Mug on page 265 of the Trim Healthy Mama Book and mixed the ingredients but used butter instead of coconut oil. I sprayed a glass baking loaf dish, put the bread mix in and microwaved it. Once it was finished, I flipped it out and toasted it in the oven for a little bit with a touch of butter on top… so sooooo good!
I cut each bread in half to make a sandwich. I made two… one for me and one for my daughter.
This chicken salad feeds several. You can take this to an event or party with crisp veggies instead of bread or you can place this into a wrap or even toast up Joseph Pita’s to scoop it out with!
ENJOY!!!

What is dill relish? Is it a jar of relish? I saw it listed in the ingredients, but it wasn’t pictured or mentioned in your steps. Thanks! 🙂
I forgot to add a pic of this. It’s just dill relish in a jar. There is usually two kinds Sweet Relish and Dill Relish. Usually I would use Sweet but since I am no sugar I use Dill and just sweeten with a little liquid stevia! 🙂
Can i eat this with a pita and i used ff mayo wouñd that still make it an S ?
You would have to keep the mayo really light… you could probably use greek yogurt instead?!
Amazing! Made this for lunch today and both hubby and I LOVED it! Still new to THM…question…would this still be an S on sprouted on-plan bread? And yes… Mezzetta peppers are the best!
If you used the sprouted bread that would be a crossover but still on plan! You could also make the WWBB Bread from the THT cookbook and use that!
Can’t wait to try the recipe! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Another alternative to canned chicken would be to use Freeze dried chicken- its already cooked and chopped for you! I sell THRIVE Life foods and use this chicken ALL THE TIME. Check my web page for more info! (We also sell freeze dried cauliflower, peanut flower and other THM approved foods). 🙂
