Credits for this great easy recipe go to my 12-year-old sister, Katelyn. One night I challenged her to make me a Fuel Pull snack (both low-carb and low-fat) using some of my Light Rye Wasa crackers, and this is what she brought me. I recreated it later with measurements for the blog. Since I like my chicken salad sweet and spicy, my measurements reflect that; but feel free to adjust everything to your own taste and add extra seasonings if you so desire!
This chicken salad takes only 5 ingredients! (To see more 5-ingredient wonders, click here.) It’s a great thing to have on hand for a quick snack or lunch. Trim Healthy Mamas (click here to find out more about the plan), this chicken salad is Fuel Pull. I like to eat it on two Light Rye Wasa crackers (as pictured) with dill pickles for a quick Fuel Pull snack. You could also put it on a Joseph’s pita or half a lavash bread with lettuce, dill pickles, and a Lite Laughing Cow cheese wedge or small amount of lite mozzarella for a Fuel Pull sandwich.
I used homemade Greek yogurt in this recipe for a milder flavor. If you’d like to learn how to make your own Greek yogurt, check out this tutorial I made!
People with allergies: this buffalo chicken salad is gluten free, egg free, and nut free. However, the Wasa crackers and other serving suggestions may or may not be allergy-friendly. Check your packaging carefully for information.

I’m mentally kicking myself for not trying this before! I’m seriously thinking of stuffing celery stalks with this, and adding dome blue cheese crumbles on top for my husband.
That sounds amazing!
Delicious over my spring mix salad tonight fir dinner plus some raw zucchini on the side. Thanks , Katelyn. 😁
I LOVE this! It’s quick, easy, and totally delicious!
I made this and loved them!! Such an easy dish to make!
I just made this & LOVE it!! I had a large can of canned chicken breast so I used that (not my favorite in the world but I usually have a couple of cans in the cupboard just in case I have a chicken emergency of some sort). Then I remembered I had a breast leftover from last night’s supper so I shredded that up in there too (ended up doubling the recipe). YUMMY!! Love you so much Brianna and may God continue to bless you & yours!! ❤❤
This is so awesome! I made this on a whim because I was getting tired of my usual rotation of afternoon snacks. This really hit the spot and I can’t believe it’s an FP!!
Thank you for your labor of love and sharing all of your recipes with us. I am also working my way through your cookbook which gets used more than any other in our THM household.
There have been countless times that your recipes have helped me stay on plan 🙂
Did you use can chicken? If so what brand?
No, I used chicken breasts that we baked in the oven. 🙂
This was really good, quick and saved me from making a bad decision. I used canned chicken–the Great Value brand.
I doubled this recipe for me, my mom, & my sisters’ lunch today. It was so yummy! 🙂 We put our own take on it. We used 2 (9.75 oz) cans of Swanson Buffalo style chicken, about 1/3 – 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (the Swanson chicken is already really saucy), 1/2 a raw jalapeno diced fine, handful of chopped spinach, and a stalk of finely diced celery. We only used 1 doonk of stevia & we added onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, dill weed, and chicken seasoning to taste. Served it on 2 wasa crackers (for each person) with 1/2 a laughing cow wedge on each cracker. Thanks for the recipe Briana!
Sounds like you made your own recipe – and it sounds great!
I love this!! I tried it the first time with the stevia, found that a bit odd. Next time I omitted any sweetner and added more Franks, that’s the way I like it! I also like to throw in a few halved grapes and eat it on quinoa crispibread. Yummy E! Thanks for this. 🙂
Awesome! Way to make it your own.
Sounds super good–I love buffalo chicken! I had a question though…..my light rye wasa’s have 11 carbs for two crackers, so wouldn’t that push me into an E setting? Or is that one extra little carb obsolete? I’ve wondered this for a while but can’t really find an answer….was hoping maybe you’d know?
Thanks! 🙂
As far as I can tell, that one extra carb is kind of overlooked as long as you don’t have many other carbs along with them. 🙂
Oh. My. Word! So yummy and I am an extremely picky eater, mostly for junk food. Your website has been such a blessing for me on this difficult journey of becoming healthy and learning new ways to eat. Thank you for all the time you put into it!
Oh my! I just made this with a small can of salmon and it is amazing! I had planned to do deep S for lunch until I remembered seeing this the other day. I like a lot of spice, so I added another tsp of hot sauce and topped it with some banana peppers. Thanks for the recipe!
Sounds great! Thanks for the idea!
This is SOOOOOO delicious! Just had it for lunch and was amazed at how great it was. And, it was super fun to hold my little boy down after lunch and breath on him with buffalo chicken breath. Bonus!
oh this looks yummy – I am loving this quick recipes! thank you for sharing!
This was delicious!! We enjoyed it on Ezekiel bread, would that make it an E or did I crossover?
The chicken salad is a FP, so you had a great E. 🙂
My, my that looks tasty. I’d have to make it an S for myself and eat it with a spoon instead of on bread, but it’s mighty tempting!
This looks awesome! My husband and I love Wasa crackers, and we make our own yogurt as well. I can’t wait to try this and take it to school next week…
This looks fabulous and easy! I just printed it to try later this week. Thanks.
