Equipment
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 small bowl
Ingredients
  
  • 3 cups cooked and diced skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup seedless grapes halved
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
 
  • Cook the skinless chicken breasts by boiling, grilling, or roasting them, according to your preference.
    Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before dicing into small, bite-sized pieces.
  • Mix the ingredients In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, grapes, celery, almonds, and dried cranberries.
  • Make the dressing In a separate, smaller bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-blended.
  • Combine the chicken mixture and dressin.
    Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  • Refrigerate For the best flavor, cover the chicken salad and refrigerate it for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
    Serve chilled.
