Bacon Ranch Easy Chicken Salad – Low Carb, Keto, THM S, Grain-Free, Gluten-Free

We love my Bacon Ranch Chicken Casserole so much that I needed to come up with a version for the warmer weather. This chicken salad does the trick.

I use grilled chicken marinated in my Ranch Yogurt Marinade for this recipe for double the ranch flavor. I love ranch. Whenever we grill chicken I make enough to have leftovers for quick and easy lunches. Chicken salad is one of our default summer meals.

This makes 2 servings of chicken salad. Feel free to double or triple to serve your entire family. I normally just make this for myself for lunch for a couple days.

This is a great way to use up leftover chicken. You can make it with leftover rotisserie chicken or even canned chicken breast. If you use canned chicken breast just make sure to cut back on the salt or it might be too salty.

  1. Delicious!Upped the chicken to 15 oz. I used 4 tbsp mayo, 3 tbsp home made ranch dressing and I did not have sour cream so I replaced it with 3 tbsp of sabra tzatziki dip and it tasted great!

    • That is just for one serving. The bacon, cheese, and mayo pump up the calories a bit. If you want to reduce them you could cut back on the bacon & cheese and add a little plain yogurt in place of part of the mayo.

  4. This was absolutely the best chicken salad recipe on the face of the planet. Easy and delicious. I added abit of chopped celery for some crunch. While I had mine on a bed of spinach, my non-keto hubby had his rolled up on a flatbread. He gave it a big thumbs up as well

  5. Oh My Goodness, this was sooooo delish. I used three precooked grilled chicken breast from HEB. I also added some scallions/green onions. Adding this to my regular menu.

    • I have the nutrition facts calculated for 2 servings. If you put a scoop on top of a green salad it could stretch to 3 or 4 servings.

        • No, I'm not a big jicama fan. It's too similar to water chestnuts which I always picked out of Chinese food as a child. Lol.

          • 1 cup of jicama has 5 net carbs so it is fairly low carb. Adding a little for crunch isn't a bad idea, although celery may be a better option depending on your diet plan.

    • Thanks so much for sharing your recipe - a delicious chicken salad! I can’t wait to try more of your recipes😊
