Whoever loves chicken breasts in any version, will like this recipe for healthy chicken salad with red onions and almonds. The salad is enormously tasty, totally easy to prepare and is also suitable for weight loss diets.

Salads generally are a quick and relatively easy matter, and even preparation of this chicken salad will not take you more than 20 minutes. One large serving of this chicken fitness salad will provide you with up to 62 grams of protein and only 15 grams of carbs on the other hand. In addition to juicy chicken breasts, you'll also find here delicious mushrooms, red onions, crunchy almonds, leafy greens, corn and parmesan. Chicken breasts are seasoned with dried thyme, ground black pepper and garlic.

Nutritional values ​​are calculated with 1 tablespoon of grated parmesan. In case that you want to prepare this salad in the most diet version, omit the walnuts and grated parmesan to minimize the fat content.
