Ingredients

  1. 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
    ½ cup mayonnaise
    ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (optional for added creaminess)
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    ½ teaspoon black pepper
    ½ cup celery, finely chopped
    ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped (optional)
    ½ cup grapes, halved (optional)
    ¼ cup nuts (pecans, walnuts, or almonds), chopped (optional)
    Bread slices, croissants, or lettuce leaves for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: If not using pre-cooked chicken, cook and shred or dice the chicken breasts.

  1. Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the chicken, celery, red onion, grapes, and nuts to the dressing. Stir gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
  3. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Assemble Sandwiches: Serve the chicken salad on slices of bread, croissants, or in lettuce wraps. Add additional toppings like lettuce or tomato if desired.

Notes

  1. Spicy Kick: Add a teaspoon of sriracha or chopped jalapeños for heat.
  2. Herb Infusion: Incorporate fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or tarragon for added flavor.
  3. Sweet and Savory: Mix in dried cranberries or chopped apples for a sweet contrast.
  4. Low-Carb Option: Serve the chicken salad in lettuce wraps instead of bread.
