Make a creamy, high-protein chicken salad using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. This recipe is quick to prepare and perfect for healthy lunch meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken hack works well)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% recommended for creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup grapes, halved (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded chicken in a medium bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dried dill, salt, and pepper until smooth. This creates your creamy greek yogurt dressing.
  3. Pour the yogurt dressing over the shredded chicken.
  4. Add the chopped celery, minced red onion, and halved grapes (if using) to the bowl.
  5. Gently fold all ingredients together until the chicken is evenly coated. Do not overmix.
  6. Taste the mixture and adjust salt or pepper as needed.
  7. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to combine. This is a great protein packed lunch for meal prep chicken salad.

Notes

  • For a low-carb chicken salad option, skip the grapes and serve this mixture in lettuce wraps or alongside cucumber slices.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the dressing mixture.
  • To save time, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for this easy chicken salad.
