Super healthy and delicious Greek yogurt chicken salad with grapes, celery and pecans!
Ingredients
- 6 Chicken breasts (Bell & Evans or other organic brand)
- 1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise (Duke's)
- 1 packet Fresh dill weed (.66 oz pack)
- 2 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
- 4 cups Chicken stock (Kitchen Basics)
- 1-2 cup Filtered water
- 3/4 cups Red grapes, sliced into quarters
- 10 stalks Celery
- 1 1/2 Lemons
- 1/2 Yellow onion, cut into chunks
- 1/3 cup Pecan chips
Directions
| In a pot, combine chicken stock, water, onion, 1 lemon (cut into six slices), 5 celery stocks and bring to a boil. Add the chicken breasts, and boil for five minutes. Then cover and lower temp to simmer. Cook for 40 minutes. | |
| While the chicken in cooking, combine the mayo and greek yogurt into a large bowl. Add the juice of the remaining half lemon, salt and pepper. Stir to combine ingredients. | |
| Remove the large stems from the dill weed, then finely chop the dill and add it to the yogurt mixture. Clean and then dice the grapes and celery and add them to the mixture as well. Add pecans. | |
| When chicken is fully cooked, remove from the liquid, pat dry, and cut into bite-sized chunks. Let it cool for a few minutes then add to the mixture. | |
