This salad is so delicious and a great option for meal prep! I love kale salads and veggie slaws because they get even better as the dressing soaks in. I used a mix of Greek yogurt and mayo in the slaw, which is the perfect amount of tang and creaminess, while also adding a boost of protein! I am using USA wellness meats pasture raised chicken in this recipe, which I absolutely loved! I find it so hard to find quality chicken at my local grocery store, and this chicken came so well packaged and the flavor quality is unmatched!

Marinate the chicken by slicing in half lengthwise, then add buttermilk and ranch seasoning to a container or plastic bag. Add the chicken and seal, let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight.
Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes, or until 165 F with a meat thermometer.
In a salad bowl, add your kale and broccoli mix, squeeze lemon and a drizzle of olive oil and massage with hands until darker green in color and volume is reduced by about 1/3.
Add chopped apples and pickled onions to the salad bowl.
After the chicken has cooled we will make the dressing, half of it is used for the chicken and half for tossing the salad
In a separate bowl, combine chipotle mayo and Greek yogurt
In another large bowl add chicken and half of the mayo/yogurt dressing.
Use two forks to shred the chicken with the dressing until the chicken is all coated and shredded
Add the remaining dressing to the salad and throughly incorporate
Toss the chicken into the salad, and enjoy!

Notes

I found a great kale and broccoli slaw mix at Trader Joe’s, but if you can’t find this mix, you can create your own blend with your favorite cruciferous vegetables!
