Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad (Healthy & Sugar Free)
What: Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad
Taste: Creamy, savory, and toasty— this healthy Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad is a protein packed dish that tastes pretty damn similar to a Classic Chicken Salad with Mayo, but without the fat. It’s healthy, sugar-free, and protein packed. The roasted almonds give it a great crunch, and reminds me of Ritz crackers. The dijon mustard gives it a good kick. The onions add in a great texture and taste. Pair it with some toast or some salad, you will feel happy and filled!
How It’s Made: Mix all ingredients in a bowl. That’s it. I actually eat half of what the recipe calls for. That’s enough for me, personally.
What to Serve it With: Toast— make it into a sandwich with a layer of spinach. Or, top off your favorite salad with this chicken salad. A classic lemon and olive oil salad would pair beautifully with this.
Notes & Tips: Have leftover rotisserie chicken? Saran-wrap it, and freeze it in small serving size portions. This is the BEST tip I learned from my Mom. Learn how to freeze rotisserie chicken.

This is quite honestly a great recipe. My friends who are not really into Greek Yogurt used in a savory meal tried this and were amazed with jut how good it was. They make it every week now, hah! It’s the perfect post-workout meal too. Definitely give it try especially if you love chicken salad with mayo!
Hope you enjoyed it!
