This healthy and flavorful Greek yogurt chicken salad is a perfect light meal or sandwich filling. Tender chicken breast is combined with creamy Greek yogurt, crisp celery, juicy grapes, and crunchy almonds for a delightful mix of textures and flavors. This easy-to-make salad is high in protein and low in fat, making it a nutritious choice for any day of the week.
Cook the boneless, skinless chicken breasts using your preferred method (e.g., grilling, baking, or poaching) until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken cool, then dice it into bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop the celery stalks and halve the red grapes.
Roughly chop the almonds.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, juice of the lemon, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the diced chicken, chopped celery, halved grapes, and chopped almonds to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the chilled Greek yogurt chicken salad on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich, or wrapped in a tortilla. Enjoy!
