I’m a snacker. I nibble at food at all day so it’s important for me to find healthy options to keep my metabolism going throughout the day. This chicken salad is so rich, yummy, and healthy for you! I’ll admit, – nothing really beats Miracle Whip for me, but Greek yogurt is such a great substitute and it tastes really good! my go-to brand is Fage.
I love sweets so baking is a big thing at our house. It’s great to know that I can use Greek yogurt in place of all of these unhealthy ingredients! I can’t wait to try some more recipes with it.
Below is my healthy Greek yogurt chicken salad recipe. Next time, I would also add nuts for some added crunch. This is a great snack option and so easy to make. The most difficult part is chopping up all of the ingredients and trying not to eat it as you go. I’m not a big fan of fresh onions so I only used 1/2 cup, but you can increase the amount to your liking. I LOVE eating my salad with lots of fruit and sweetness so I used 1 1/2 cups for each other fruits. Have you tried this before?
INGREDIENTS:
(2) lbs chicken breast – boiled and chopped
(1) cup Greek yogurt
(1) cup cranberries
(1 1/2) cup apples – chopped
(1 1/2) cup grapes – chopped
(1/2) cup red onion – chopped
(3) tbsp fresh lemon juice
salt & pepper to taste
(2) lbs chicken breast – boiled and chopped
(1) cup Greek yogurt
(1) cup cranberries
(1 1/2) cup apples – chopped
(1 1/2) cup grapes – chopped
(1/2) cup red onion – chopped
(3) tbsp fresh lemon juice
salt & pepper to taste
STEP ONE: Boil a pot of water (with salt) and cook the chicken for about 30 minutes on medium heat. In the mean time, you can chop up the onions, apples, and grapes and place in a bowl. Also squeeze the lemon juice in as well.
STEP TWO: Once the chicken is finished, set aside to cool and then chop it up into small pieces. Mix with the other ingredients. Add salt/pepper as needed. Cover and place in frig for several hours until cool. That’s as easy as it gets!
Serve with bread, crackers, or on a bed of greens. This portion will serve 4-6 people. Enjoy sweet RAWRs!
Looks yummy Linh! I like fruit in mine too so I’ll have to try this 🙂
Oooh, this looks delish! It looks like a quick, healthy snack that would totally satisfy. Thanks for posting and have a good day! XO

Oh this does sound good! I never thought of using greek yogurt in recipes but this is a good idea. I love greek yogurt but it is hard to find. You would not think so in NY but none of the super markets carry a good option. The only place I find that carries good greek yogurt is Trader Joe’s

That is so crazy that it’s so hard to find in NY. Yes, I hear anything from Trader Joes is uh-mazing!
I sub Greek yogurt into all kinds of things, but I haven’t yet added it to a chicken salad, so you’ve inspired me! Yum!
This looks DELICIOUS! I just pinned it to my food board, cannot wait to try!
