Ingredients
Cooked Chicken Breast, 3 cups shredded or diced
Plain Greek Yogurt, 1 cup (full fat or low fat)
Fresh Parsley, 1/2 cup chopped
Fresh Dill, 1/4 cup chopped
Fresh Chives, 2 tablespoons chopped
Fresh Tarragon, 1 tablespoon chopped (optional)
Lemon Juice, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed
Garlic Powder, 1/2 teaspoon
Dijon Mustard, 1 teaspoon
Salt, 1/2 teaspoon or to taste
Black Pepper, 1/4 teaspoon or to taste
Celery Stalks, 2 finely diced
Red Onion, 1/4 cup finely diced (optional)
Instructions
1. 1. Start with cooked chicken breast. Boil, bake, or pan fry chicken breast until cooked through, then let cool completely. Once cool, shred the chicken using two forks or dice into small, bite sized pieces. Place in a large mixing bowl.
2. 2. Finely dice the celery stalks and red onion (if using). Add these crunchy vegetables to the bowl with the chicken.
3. 3. Wash and thoroughly dry all fresh herbs. Finely chop the parsley, dill, chives, and tarragon (if using). Add to the bowl.
4. 4. In a separate medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings.
5. 5. Pour dressing over chicken and vegetables. Fold gently with a spatula or spoon until well coated.
6. 6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
7. 7. Stir before serving. Serve on bread, in lettuce cups, with crackers, or as a side.
Notes
Chilling is key for best flavor. Fresh herbs are non-negotiable. Shredded chicken absorbs dressing better. Taste and adjust seasoning after mixing. Dry herbs well to avoid diluting dressing. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Do not freeze.
