1
If you haven't cooked your chicken yet, heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat and add ghee.
2
Season uncooked chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, and fresh poultry seasoning.
3
Add chicken to the pan and sauté, allowing each side to cook for about 3 minutes, until the outside is golden brown and the inside is no longer pink. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Preheat your oven to 300°F. In a small bowl, toss walnuts with cinnamon, then spread out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
5
Roast walnuts in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Remove from oven and set aside.
6
Once your chicken has cooled to room temperature, chop or shred it into bite-sized pieces and add it to a large bowl.

To the bowl, add toasted walnuts, chopped dates, Paleo mayo, and lemon juice.

Toss everything together to coat and serve immediately over greens.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
