Light Spring Chicken & Egg Salad

  • Ingredients:
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup frozen bite-size chicken (or 1–2 chicken breasts, baked and chopped)
  • 1 small head of lettuce (or 2–3 cups, chopped)
  • 2 mini cucumbers, sliced
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 cup mild cheese (cubed or shredded – mozzarella or Monterey Jack work great)
  • Dill weed seasoning (to taste)
  • Optional: salt & pepper

Instructions:

  1. Boil the Eggs
    • Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 9–10 minutes. Cool in cold water, then peel and cut into quarters or slices.
  2. Cook the Chicken
    • Option 1: If using frozen bite-size chicken, cook according to package instructions (usually skillet or oven).
    • Option 2: Bake 1–2 seasoned chicken breasts at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes. Let rest, then cut into bite-size pieces.
  3. Assemble the Salad
    • In a large bowl, add chopped lettuce as the base.
    • Top with cooked chicken bites, boiled egg pieces, and sliced mini cucumbers.
    • Add cubes or shreds of mild cheese.
  4. Add the Finishing Touches
    • Squeeze half a lemon over the salad for fresh zing.
    • Sprinkle dill weed generously.
    • Add salt and pepper if desired.

🌿 Serve & Enjoy!
Perfect for lunch, a light dinner, or meal prep. Feel free to top with a drizzle of olive oil or your favorite light vinaigrette if you want extra dressing. I like mines with Buttermilk Ranch 🙂
