Abbots Butcher Spring Chicken Cobb Salad
Abbots Butcher Spring Chicken Cobb Salad, Honey Maple Mayo & Coconut Bacon
The key here is the chicken salad, everything else is an opportunity to build the most beautiful spring arrangement. The chicken salad would also be good as a sandwich, in lettuce cups, and pretty much any way you serve it...
Abbots Butcher Spring Chicken Cobb Salad, Honey Maple Mayo//
1 package of Abbot's Butcher Chopped Chicken
Sauteed in olive or avocado oil until golden brown. Thaw before using.
Honey Maple Mayo//
- Liquid from 1 can of chickpeas
- 1/4 cup of chickpeas
- 1/4 cup apple cider or rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup

To Make Chicken Salad//
Toss chicken with about 1/3 cup of the mayonnaise. Add salt to taste.
Optionally, add about 1/4 cup chopped parsley and chives.
Use remaining mayo to serve as dressing.
Coconut Bacon//
Preheat oven to 350
- 2 cups coconut chips
- 1/4 cup tamari
- 14 cup maple syrup
- 1- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1-2 tsp smoked paprika (I prefer this over liquid smoke)
- Pinch of cayenne if you like spice
- Pinch of sea salt
Toss coconut with tamari, maple, garlic, paprika, and cayenne if using.
Bake for 10 minutes. Stir about half way through bake so that it doesn't burn.
Remove from the oven, and wait a few minutes until it crisps up.
