Lemony Chickpea & Chicken Salad

I don’t know about you, but perimenopause has got me struggling to eat! I’m trying to prioritize “healthy nutrition” rather than getting in line at the drive thru. But it’s a challenge!

Enter - meal prep.

I found this great little recipe while I was scrolling on tiktok, but I made it my own with a secret ingredient - canned chicken! Ok, I won’t make you read my life story. Here’s the recipe! Make it yours, and enjoy!

Ingredients:

• One can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

• 1/3 of a bunch of parsley

• 1/3 red onion - diced

• zest of one lemon

• 1/2 tub feta (or measure with your heart)

• 1/3 cup hemp hearts

• 1/2 can chicken (don’t worry, I was skeptical too!)

Dressing:

• 2-3 T olive oil

• juice of one lemon

• salt and pepper to taste

Toss or shake it up - and enjoy! This lasted me for about 5 days and it was delicious the entire week! I hope you love it too.

Here’s to getting in that good protein!
