I like hot chicken salad and cold chicken salad. It's all delicious to me.
A friend recently posted a recipe for greek yogurt chicken salad and I was intrigued.
I haven't tried many new recipes lately. Life's been busy so we've been sticking to our favorite foods. But, with the warmer weather finally arriving in Indiana I am feeling motivated to try some new recipes.
I made up this recipe on Sunday and it was SO YUMMY! It was light, filling and I am excited to eat it for lunch all week.
Loaded Chicken Salad
2 chicken breasts cooked & shredded (I did mine in the crock pot)
1 5.3 oz plain greek yogurt
2 celery stalks finely chopped
1 c green grapes cut in fourths
1 c red grapes cut in fourths
1/2 c strawberries cut small
1/4 c chopped pecans
1 t cumin
salt and pepper to taste
Shred the chicken. Wash and chop all the colorful ingredients. Stir everything together in a big bowl until well coated and chill. Serve on a bed of baby spinach or with crackers.
Isn't it a pretty chicken salad??
How do you like your chicken salad? Leave me all the details in the comments.
I love chicken salad and make mine very similar but I never thought to add cumin!
ReplyDeleteThis looks SO good! I love chicken salad and there really are so many different variations of it. I can't wait to try this. It sounds like the perfect summer lunch! =)
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious! I am always a little hesitant to replace yogurt for mayo, but if you recommend it I will give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI need to try this recipe! I LOVE chicken salad but try not to make it too often due to the mayo...but yogurt is a perfect solution. My favorite mix-ins are either cheddar cheese and bacon or walnuts, apples and craisins.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love chicken salad, and this recipe sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteChicken salad is a dish that I like but that I never think to make. Publix chicken salad is the absolute bomb, so I normally buy that if I want it.
