Ingredients
Chicken Salad
- 1 lb. chicken breasts, about 2 breasts boiled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, I used 0% Fage
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh squeezed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ cup celery, sliced thin
- ¼ cup shallots, diced small
- 2 tablespoons toasted almonds, sliced or crushed works fine, optional
Equipment
- 1 sauce pot
Instructions
- Boil a pot of water and add the chicken breasts. Cook the chicken for 15-20 minutes or until it's fully cooked through. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees. While the boiled chicken breasts are cooling, grab a large mixing bowl.
- Combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper into the mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Gently fold the sliced celery and diced shallots into the dressing. Once the chicken is cool, cube the chicken into bite sized pieces. Add it to the bowl with everything else. Toss until all of the chicken is well coated. Top with crushed or sliced almonds.
- Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes in an airtight container before serving.
