Eating healthy while on the go can be challenging, especially when it comes to fast food. However, with the right choices, it’s entirely possible to find meals that align with your health goals. Certified trainer @tcraw3 recently shared an Instagram reel revealing a high-protein, low-calorie Chick-fil-A order that’s not only quick and convenient but also “great for your macros.”
This Buffalo Grilled Chicken Salad is packed with flavor and provides an impressive 32 grams of protein, all for just 410 calories. Here’s how you can recreate this delicious and nutritious meal the next time you visit Chick-fil-A.
Step 1: Start with the Kale Crunch SaladHead to your local Chick-fil-A and order the Kale Crunch Salad. This base packs 4 grams of protein and is only 170 calories. It’s the perfect starting point for a nutrient-dense, fiber-rich meal. Kale is a superfood, after all!
Step 2: Add Grilled NuggetsNext, add an 8-count of grilled nuggets to your order. These juicy, flavorful nuggets bring in an additional 25 grams of protein and 130 calories, making them a protein powerhouse that will keep you full and satisfied.
Step 3: Don’t Forget the ExtrasThe Kale Crunch Salad comes with a packet of roasted almonds, adding a satisfying crunch and 60 calories. While these almonds are optional, they contribute healthy fats and a bit of extra protein, enhancing the texture and flavor of your salad.
Step 4: Bring on the FlavorThe magic of this salad lies in the dressing. Grab two packs of Chick-fil-A’s Zesty Buffalo Sauce (25 calories) and two packs of pure honey (25 calories). “That’s where the flavor comes in,” @tcraw3 explains. The combination of the sweet honey and tangy buffalo sauce creates a perfect balance of flavors that elevate the entire dish.
Step 5: Mix It All TogetherTo assemble your salad, put the grilled chicken into the salad container, drizzle the honey over the chicken, and then add the zesty buffalo sauce. Close the container, give it a good shake to mix everything together, and voilà—you’ve got a mouthwatering Buffalo Grilled Chicken Salad.
