Here is a recipe for:
Keto chicken salad with a creamy chimichurri dressing.

Ingredients:
Chimichurri dressing
4 tbsp mayonnaise
¼ tbsp red wine vinegar
½ cup (¼ oz.) fresh parsley or fresh cilantro
½ tbsp red chili peppers, chopped
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 garlic clove

Chicken thighs:
1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
1 lb boneless chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper

Serving:
2 cups (4 oz.) leafy greens
1 (7 oz.) avocado, sliced
¼ (1 oz.) red onion, sliced
1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)
½ red chili pepper, sliced (optional)

Instructions:

Add all the ingredients for the chimichurri dressing to a food processor or a blender. Mix until smooth. Add some water if you prefer a runnier consistency. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet with olive oil. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add them to the hot pan and fry on both sides until completely cooked. It will take about 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the meat.

While the chicken is frying, prepare the vegetables and arrange them on individual plates or a big serving platter. Place the chicken on top and serve with the dressing, a couple of lemon wedges, and chili if you like to add a bit more heat to the dish.
