Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 2 pieces Celery stalks
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 small Cucumber
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Pecans
• 4 cups Mixed greens

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 4

While the chicken is baking, chop the red onion, celery, carrot, cucumber, and parsley into small, bite-sized pieces. Combine in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken using two forks or your hands.

Step 6

Add the shredded chicken to the bowl with the chopped vegetables.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the Whole30-compliant mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until well combined.

Step 9

Chop the pecans roughly and sprinkle them into the chicken salad.

Step 10

Serve a portion of the chicken salad atop a bed of mixed greens for a refreshing meal.
