Veggified Chicken Salad

3 oz canned chicken breast in water (1/4 of the 12 oz can from Aldi's is what I used)
1 mini cucumber diced
1/2 bell pepper diced (I used a mix of red and orange bell peppers)
1/2 Tablespoon mayo with olive oil (I've tried both Hellman's and Kraft, both are good)
1 Tablespoon dill relish (you could use sweet relish, I just like dill better)
3 green olives diced
11 Big Wheat Thins (or a serving size of regular wheat thins or triscuits) OR 1 Arnold Sandwich Thins Multi-Grain (or any other multi-grain or whole wheat bread)

Mix together chicken, cucumber, peppers, mayo, relish, and olives.  Enjoy either with crackers or on sandwich thin.
This is very similar to the veggified egg salad.
I've found that it's best to mix this together one serving at a time and eat either the same or next day.  If the chicken salad sits for too long it becomes watery and gross because of the veggies.

Game On Diet plan
Fist sized portion of fruit or carbohydrate = wheat thins OR sandwich thin
Palm sized portion of protein = chicken
Thumb sized healthy fat = olives (and olive oil in mayo)
Fist sized portions of vegetables = cucumber and bell pepper
