Keto Cold Chicken Bacon Broccoli Side Salad
A protein packed side dish is a great way to keep your protein intake at that 20% recommended mark for keto diets, leaving you opportunity to make your main course focused on fats and low-carb vegetables. Just like leftovers, this dish is best served cold!
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook you bacon in a pan until both sides are crispy. Let the bacon cool before chopping into pieces. Set this aside for later.
Step 2
Next, chop the chicken into small, bite sized pieces. Toss the chicken in a pan with salt, pepper, onion powder, oregano, and olive oil over high heat. Cook the chicken until the pieces are cooked through and the outside edges all have a char – about 7-8 minutes. Allow the cooked chicken to cool enough to combine in a bowl with your chopped bacon and set aside in the refrigerator to cool entirely through.
Step 3
Chop THAWED frozen broccoli into small pieces. Stir together in a bowl with all the remaining ingredients. Set the bowl in your refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour along with the chicken.
Step 4
To serve, stir the cold chicken and bacon together with the marinated broccoli salad.
