HEALTHY CHICKEN SALAD

Scott grilled some chicken breast a week ago and I had one really large one left so I decided to make chicken salad.  I really wanted to create a healthy version.

Since I started making my own greek yogurt a month or so back I have been using it in all kinds of things and I switched up the amount of mayo I used in this recipe by adding greek yogurt.  

Chicken salad can be very fattening but I wanted a healthier version that is partly why I used the greek yogurt.  I skipped adding boiled eggs and I did not use a sweet relish. I used hot dill pickles I canned last summer and chopped them up.

I cut my grilled chicken into small pieces.

add chopped celery

add chopped red onion

add some garlic salt

add fresh ground pepper

added mayo, Greek yogurt, and dijon mustard

chopped hot garlic dill pickles and added them

I mixed it all together and it was done.  

Made a sandwich and it was so good.  

CHICKEN SALAD

Ingredients

• 1 pound grilled chicken breast 
• 1 stalk celery
• 1 small red onion
• 1 large dill pickle or 5 small
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt
• 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
• 1/2 C olive oil mayonnaise
• 1/2 C plain greek yogurt
• 1 tsp dijon mustard

Directions

• Chop or cube chicken and place into a large bowl
• Chop celery, onion, and pickles and combine with the chicken
• Add all other ingredients and combine well

I actually used 3 medium sized pickles.  I love dill pickles in chicken salad or even deviled eggs.  I chose the hot pickles for a bit of heat but I did not taste any heat.  

Adaptions

You can always add other stuff such as carrots, black olives or eggs.  

You could also add some pickled jalapenos or even candied jalapenos for heat.

ENJOY!!
