Yes, chicken salad can be healthy!
I swap two thirds of the mayonnaise for plain Greek yogurt. I love the tangy flavor the yogurt brings, and there is still plenty of mayonnaise to hold the mixture together.
I am an Onion Girl, so I always have plenty of red onion in my recipe, but feel free to make it your own!
Serve on sandwiches, on top of green salads, or as a snack with some whole grain crackers.
You will need:
1 lb shredded chicken, like rotisserie
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 shallot, diced
3 green onions, chopped
Directions:
Using a large fork, combine all ingredients in a large bowl to even consistency.
Additional add-ins: chopped pecans, chopped red grapes, or diced celery
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days after the chicken was cooked.
Enjoy!
