    Easy Grilled Chicken Tangerine Salad | Bariatric Friendly Recipe

     

    Grilled Chicken Tangerine Salad

    I'm ready for flowers, warm breezes, and the snow to stay away. One of the first things I want to do is start grilling on a daily basis. This easy grilled chicken tangerine salad can be made indoors, but just imagine the powerful flavor boost that high flames would give to the chicken grilled over an open fire.  Latina Mom Meals will be making a change for the better soon. Lots of healthy, low-carb, and bariatric friendly recipes are going to be coming out soon.

    I have a confession to make! I'm going to have the Gastric Sleeve surgery done shortly! I'm beyond excited and can't wait to share my journey with you all. 🙂 (Now back to the recipe!)

    Grilled Chicken Tangerine Salad

    It starts with the chicken, for this recipe, we're going simple Italian seasonings, season your fresh chicken tenders with lemon juice and Italian seasonings, and cook it on a griddle or if you're blessed with warm weather (or be like me, I've grilled wings in two feet of snow lol) go ahead and grill it over open flames until it's cooked through.

    Once your chicken is cooked, you're going to put it on the side and allow it to rest while you prep your salad. You can also meal prep for the week ahead and once the chicken has cooled, chop up the chicken and portion it out for the perfect protein to add to your daily salad or meals!

    Grilled Chicken Tangerine Salad

    The beauty of a salad is that it's so versatile, you really can add anything you want into it. For this spring like salad, we went with fresh citrus, red onions, walnuts, raisins, tomatoes, and spring mix salad. I prefer using light balsamic vinaigrette because I find that it's healthier, but next time I might aim for a light Italian dressing. (Or even an oil and vinegar homemade dressing so it's sugar and carb-free, for an awesome list of 17 Keto salad dressings, check out this post from Healthful Pursuit!)
