Ingredients

  • 1½ lb chicken breast cooked & shredded
  • ⅓ cup green grapes sliced in half or quarters
  • ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ cup chopped green onion tips
  • ¼ cup low FODMAP & Paleo mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup plain coconut yogurt
  • 1 tbsp low FODMAP curry powder
  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt plus more to taste

If Starting With Raw Chicken

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

Roast the Chicken Breast

  • Preheat oven to 450°F and grease a baking pan to prevent sticking.
  • Mix water and salt, stirring to ensure salt is dissolved. Brine raw chicken breast for 15 minutes.
  • Once the 15 minutes is up, rinse chicken to get excess sodium off the surface and pat dry. Season with garlic-infused olive oil and pepper.
  • Place chicken on baking pan and roast in oven, uncovered for 15-18 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  • Let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before shredding with 2 forks.

Throw It All Together

  • It's simple! Mix chicken breast and all remaining ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine thoroughly. Best served chilled, but can also be eaten right away. :)

Notes

  1. For mayonnaise and coconut yogurt, I love using Primal Kitchen's Avocado Oil Mayo, and Culina Yogurt's Plain & Simple coconut yogurt.
  2. Make sure your curry powder doesn't have any garlic or onion in the ingredient list! I like to use Morton & Bassett's version.
  3. If using store-bought garlic-infused oil that is not certified FODMAP-friendly, make sure to use a brand that doesn’t list “garlic oil,” “garlic essential oil,” “garlic essence,” “garlic flavoring,” “natural roasted garlic flavor,” or anything similar in the ingredients list. There’s no way to know whether these ingredients are low FODMAP. More on that in this article on FODMAP Everyday.
