Ingredients
  

  • 300g 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
  • 75g 1/2 cup Celery, finely diced
  • 75g 1/2 cup Red grapes, halved
  • 30g 1/4 cup Red onion, finely diced
  • 75g 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
  • 60g 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 15g 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 15ml 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 5g 1 tsp Honey (optional)

Equipment

Method
 

  1. If using raw chicken, cook 2 boneless, skinless breasts in a skillet with salt and pepper until fully cooked (165°F internal temp). Let cool, then dice or shred.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Add diced chicken, celery, grapes, red onion, and parsley to the bowl. Gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Serve on croissants, bread, or over a bed of greens.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: This salad tastes even better the next day! Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: Swap Greek yogurt for sour cream or use all mayo. Add walnuts or almonds for crunch.
  • Gluten-Free: Naturally GF—just serve with GF bread or lettuce wraps.
