Green Goddess Chicken Salad is a fresh and protein-packed dish featuring tender chicken, crisp vegetables, creamy avocado, and a vibrant herb-filled Green Goddess dressing. Perfect for healthy lunches, meal prep, wraps, or light dinners.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, chives, dill, basil, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, cucumber, celery, green onions, avocado, and lettuce.
  4. Pour the Green Goddess dressing over the salad.
  5. Toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for 20–30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works well as a convenient substitute for cooked chicken breast.
  • For meal prep, store the dressing separately and add avocado just before serving.
  • Use all Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter dressing.
  • Serve in wraps, sandwiches, lettuce cups, or over extra greens.
  • Add bacon, feta cheese, or sunflower seeds for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
