Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced (about 1.5 lbs raw)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
  • 2/3 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1/3 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/3 cup toasted pecans or almonds, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Add the cooled, cooked chicken, halved grapes, diced celery, red onion, and fresh dill to the bowl with the dressing.
  3. Using a spatula, gently fold all ingredients together until evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the grapes.
  4. Just before serving, fold in the toasted nuts. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

Ensure chicken is completely cool before mixing to prevent a watery dressing. For best texture, add nuts right before serving. Stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
