I want to share a very yummy, very healthy chicken salad with you. Maybe you're like me where you aren't a mayonnaise fan. Or maybe you DO love the sinful mixture, but are looking for alternatives to making chicken salad. Well, try plain yogurt! I like Stonyfield Farms brand plain yogurt. It's very healthy and has lots of good stuff in it. :-) Hope you enjoy the taste just as much as I do! Here's the recipe:
Yogurt Chicken Salad-
1-1.25lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
approx 20-30 grapes, red or green
Half a tub of PLAIN yogurt
1 small bag slivered almonds
lemon juice (in yellow bottle)
lemon pepper seasoning (I like Mrs Dash blend)
Cook chicken in a crockpot on low for 6hrs or high for 3 hrs, with a trace of water at the bottom. Or you may opt to boil the chicken in a pot of water over med high heat for about 20-30 min. Allow chicken to cool for a bit, then transfer to large bowl, sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning and shred with 2 forks.
Slice grapes in half, add to chicken, along with the slivered almonds. Sprinkle approx 1 tsp lemon juice over chicken. Add plain yogurt and mix well. If mix isn't creamy enough for your liking, just add more yogurt.
Serve with rolls, whole wheat bread, and/or Sunchips (my fave). Enjoy!!
