The Keto Dad Tips and Tricks

I love to cook the chicken in the instant pot with poultry seasoning - super easy and it shreds well. You can cook it any way you like though! Adding the extra seasoning when you cook it gives it great flavor!
Shred or dice the chicken - whichever you prefer!
Make it a little in advance and let it sit in the fridge for all the flavors to mix together
Watch your additional add-ins. Grapes might be tasty, but can add a lot of carbs and sugar fast!
Want a little variety? You can even heat your chicken salad up and serve it warm on toasted 90 second bread!
