Greek Chicken Salad - Cooking after Gastric Bypass

Greek Chicken Salad

1 pound chicken breast (or shirmp/protein of choice; tofu, white beans, pork loin)
2-3 tbsp Greek Seasoning (more or less depending on your preference)
2 tbsp EVOO
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and sliced into about 1/2 inch half moons
8 oz grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1 small can kalamata olives, drained
1/2 c crumbled reduced fat fetta cheese
1/2-3/4 c Greek Vinaigrette
Fresh spinach
And/or whole wheat pasta, cooked according to package directions.

Preheat oven to 400. Generously drizzle and brush EVOO over chicken breast on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, prepared with cooking spray. Liberally sprinkle Greek seasoning over breasts. Bake for 18-20 mins, until juices run clear. Allow to cool before dicing.

Mix everything in a large bowl, except fetta. Carefully incorporate fetta into salad.

Cover and refirgerate for several hours. The longer it sits, the better.
Serve on a bed of spinach, or pasta. Feel free to alter measurements to suit your taste.

@Fat2Skinny09 2 months is NOT too early to regular food. you begin introducing regular foods at 4 weeks. Myself for example, am only one week out and I have already had Tilapia and some softer vegatables because I have never gotten nauseated or have never had problems with anything.

What kinds of pasta? How far out would I need to be for that part of it.. I am only five days right now.. but I really want to plan ahead.

I spoke with my surgeon & dietician and they both said I wuld be fine eating this, so I have just made it and it was delicious!

[Fat2Skinny09]

you should wait and stay with the program. 2 months is way too early to start eating regular food. stay on the program..you will reap the rewards.

I would ask your surgeon, each office deals with raw veggies differently. Ours was ok with this type food at about 60 days post op.
