Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup celery, finely diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely minced
- 1/2 cup red grapes, halved (or diced apple)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup sliced almonds or chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Chicken. Ensure your cooked chicken is completely cool before starting. Shred the chicken using two forks or cut it into bite-sized cubes. Place the chicken into a large mixing bowl.
- Step 2: Chop the Aromatics and Fruit. Finely dice the celery and red onion to ensure you get a bit of crunch in every bite without any single flavor being too overpowering. Slice the grapes in half or dice an apple into small pieces for a hint of natural sweetness.
- Step 3: Mix the Creamy Dressing. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. This ensures the seasonings are evenly distributed before they hit the chicken.
- Step 4: Combine and Incorporate. Pour the yogurt dressing over the chicken mixture. Use a large spoon or spatula to fold everything together until the chicken and vegetables are thoroughly and evenly coated.
- Step 5: Chill and Set. While you can eat this immediately, letting it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld together and the dressing to slightly thicken. Give it a quick stir before serving.
