Notes

Mix in a bowl one can of kirkland chicken, mustard, sweet relish, and lemon juice. This portion can easily be two serving sizes. I portion out 1/2 (~roughly 3.5 oz) of the chicken salad to make 1 serving (~3.5 oz). Serve it up in your wrap of choice! I like La Banderita because it is low calorie.   You can toast it on a griddle if you prefer your wrap to be warm or eat it cold. Either way, it’s a nice snack or even light lunch option that is low in fat and calories, but high in protein.
