Keto Blueberry Pecan Chicken Salad – a little sweet and a little savory, this chicken salad is a low-carb recipe filled with chicken, blueberries, pecans, celery, bacon, and green onions.
KETO BLUEBERRY PECAN CHICKEN SALAD
I know I already have a perfectly good Keto Chicken Salad on this site. But I didn’t have one that has sweet tones like some of my favorite chicken salads. This has candied pecans and blueberries for a bite of freshness.
INGREDIENTS:
- Chicken – rotisserie chicken works well here.
- Pecans – these are candied with Monkfruit and give a sweet crunch.
- Blueberries – one of the lower carb fruits out there and give a nice pop of fruity flavor.
- Celery – for some crunch!
- Green onions – give is a savory flavor.
- Bacon – gives it a salty bite.
CANDIED PECANS
I tried making the candied pecans with both Monkfruit and Allulose. The Allulose yielded a sweet pecan but the texture was sticky. The Monkfruit has a slightly cooling effect on the pecans. I countered this with a little butter. That was the winning combination.
