Notes
I'm a huge fan of chicken & mayo, however traditional recipes contain a lot of calories and fat from the mayonnaise, so this recipe has been adapted by replacing half of the mayo with Greek yoghurt to reduce the calories and increase the creaminess and protein content – making this ideal for healthy light and weight-loss meals. Eating protein-rich meals with healthy fats also helps to balance blood-sugar and insulin, thereby helping alleviate hormonal fluctuations. At only 4.4g of net carbs, this meal is also low-carb and keto friendly.
