    I have to admit that this Loaded Chicken Salad recipe came about partially to satisfy my craving for a big ol' baked potato.

    Kevin still has them when we grill steaks and yes, I do tend to drool. I don't really miss potatoes at any other time really, but next to a steak and salad, a potato shines like a diamond.

    After a year and a half of living la vida low carb, the call from that potato is pretty quiet, but a girl can still have potato dreams right?

    So I decided to take those cravings and mash them up with something that I can have any day of the week I want it.

    The result is a traditional creamy chicken salad that meets all of the delicious flavors of a loaded baked potato and an amazing tasty low carb marriage happens!

    With bacon, chives, and shredded cheese, it is perfect for keeping your lunch interesting or makes a wonderful dish to take to a potluck or summer barbecue.

    But, I warn you, it will go fast, so you may want to make a triple (or more) batch.

    I thought I was just coming up with a tasty keto-friendly recipe for myself, and y'all, but then the Mr. got a hold of it and it was gone in no time flat!

    I love it when my non-keto family members and friends enjoy my ketofied recipes.

    It gives me the warm fuzzies and makes me smile.

    But, that is good for you too because I know there are a ton of you out there trying to navigate the low carb highway with passengers that are not super fond of being there.

    The Mr. started out that way. But I have to admit that he has come around to the keto side quite nicely now.

    Substitutions

    If you know how to make the recipe fit a certain diet, let the reader know here. Don't fake it - only provide guidance on topics you have actual experience with.

    • Protein - You can use chicken breast or thighs, or even try things like tuna or canned salmon.
    • Veggies - I use green onions as they are a milder onion flavor and are common on baked potatoes but you can use whatever veggies you enjoy in your chicken salad.
    • Dressing/Sauce - I use keto mayo but you can use whatever mayo you prefer or try sour cream or Greek yogurt, or even ranch dressing.

    Storage

    Store the Loaded Chicken Salad in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 to 5 days.

    These ingredients do/don't stand up well to freezing for X days/weeks/months.

    Should I use regular or sharp cheddar cheese in this Loaded Chicken Salad?

    Again, this is up to your personal preference. You can use everything from mild cheddar to extra sharp, or even try pepper jack for a little spice.

    If stored in an airtight container, this chicken salad should last up to 5 days.
