LOW CARB SOUTHERN DILL PICKLE CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:
- Fold all ingredients together in a large bowl, shredding chicken with a fork until it is at your desired consistency. The sugar substitute is optional, but adds a nice balance to the salty dill pickles. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes for the ingredients and flavors to mingle, or serve immediately. Serve over a green salad and garnish with fresh dill if you have any on hand. George's Tips: I like to finely mince 1⁄3 of the chicken in a food processor and shred the remaining 2⁄3 with a fork to make a salad that is the best of both worlds; ground and chunky. Variation: I make an entirely different Dill Chicken Salad by replacing the dill pickle with fresh cucumber, and adding 1⁄4 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh dill. calories: 175|fat: 8.5g |protein: 21g |fiber: 0g |net carbs:2.5g
