Hi, friends! I have a quick, easy and healthy recipe to share with you today as part of Kitchen Tip Tuesdays! I love chicken salad but I don’t like mayonaise very much, so I was on a mission to find a healthier recipe for chicken salad that I could make at home. I think I found a winner!
I like to bake chicken breasts ahead of time during the weekend {see my earlier post about making the most of oven time} so I typically have cooked chicken breasts in a tupperware container in my fridge. Often to save time and extra dishes, I mix up the chicken salad in the tupperware container, and I’m ready to grab and go if need be!
healthier chicken salad
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt {you could add more or less yogurt as desired}
- 2 tbsp hummus
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- salt and pepper to taste
1. Stir Greek yogurt and hummus into chicken until fully incorporated.
2. Add chopped celery, dried cranberries, slivered almonds, and mix well.
3. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
It’s a great lunch, especially as the weather continues to warm up! I like serving the chicken salad over a bed of baby spinach.
Have a great day! I’ll be back tomorrow with a post I’m really excited to share with you!
Till soon,
Dallas
