Healthy Chicken Salad with Greek Yogurt

It's been a busy few weeks! I moved to Philadelphia, went on vacation with my family, and started my dietetic internship. My family and I went to Garden City, South Carolina. Our mornings were spent on the beach and our evening were filled with good food. Not to mention relaxing runs on the beach most mornings with my dad. I am not a runner, but I couldn't resist at the beach. Check out my Instagram (@eatlivesplurge) for pictures of some delicious vacation eats!


Chicken is a great source of protein and one of my favorite things to eat for lunch. Sometimes chicken gets a little boring. Sometimes chicken is not even close to what I'm craving. It all depends on the day. So changing it up with a healthy chicken salad over spinach or on a sandwich is a great alternative. I like the flavor of using rotisserie chicken better than plain cooked chicken breast, but it's up to you! I've made this chicken salad both ways.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 0 minutes
Serves: 4-5

Ingredients
Rotisserie chicken breast without skin or 2 cooked chicken breasts
1/4 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 green apple, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
Salt and pepper

Directions
  1. Shred the chicken breast into bite size pieces.
  2. Stir in the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped apple and celery.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Eat immediately or store in the refrigerator.
