Easy Pomegranate Chicken Salad Recipe

Sometimes lunch or dinner times can be rough. Deciding what you make that is healthy shouldn’t be so hard.  Print off the recipe for this pomegranate Chicken Salad recipe and just have it handy. It is Super easy to put together and so tasty. Some may not like to mix grilled chicken with fruits but I promise that the combination tastes amazing especially in a salad form.

What is the healthiest way to cook chicken?

Chicken breasts without skin are the healthiest parts of the chicken. The healthiest way to cook chicken I would say would be either grill it or just pan sear it and cook for a few minutes on each side as I did for this Pomegranate Chicken Salad recipe. Rub some olive oil over the chicken, add salt, pepper, and your favorite seasoning before grilling until they are cooked through.

Is it bad to eat chicken every day?

Absolutely not! Especially if you are eating leaner parts of the chicken like the breast without skin. It also depends on the way you cook your chicken. Avoid frying your chicken and grill, bake or pan sear it instead. I find pan searing easy and quick and that’s the method I used for this Chicken Salad recipe. Watch the sugar contents of marinades you use to cook your chicken as well! Chicken is a healthy source of protein and great to add to your diet regimen.

    This salad looks delicious! Can you recommend a different dressing since honey Dijon is not a favorite in our family?

      Hi Kathy
      Yes you can switch the dressing to any other dressing you use and like. Another dressing i love to make with very little calories would be a mixture of olive oil, salt and pepper, crush garlic, lemons and either oregano or mint.
