Welcome! You will love this Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad. It is creamy, high in protein, and uses Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter, healthier lunch option perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% recommended for creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded chicken in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Add the diced celery, minced red onion, and fresh parsley to the Greek yogurt mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. Pour the yogurt dressing over the shredded chicken.
  5. Use a spatula or spoon to mix all ingredients gently until the chicken is evenly coated and the salad is creamy.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Cover the bowl and chill the chicken salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve this high protein lunch idea on bread, in wraps, or with crackers.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, serve this salad in crisp lettuce cups instead of bread.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar along with the lemon juice.
  • This salad keeps well for meal prep and stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to four days.
