Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (rotisserie works great)
- 3/4 to 1 cup 0% plain Greek yogurt, as needed
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder, or more to taste
- 1/2 cup sweet onion, diced small
- 1/3 cup celery, diced small
- 1 cup red or green grapes, halved
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped small
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped small
Instructions
- Add the cooked chicken breasts to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Warm chicken breaks down easiest, but cold works too — break cold chicken into smaller pieces first. Turn on low and process for 30 to 60 seconds, or until your desired texture is reached. Do not over-process or the chicken will become mushy. ```
- Transfer shredded chicken to a large mixing bowl. Add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, kosher salt, garlic powder, cracked black pepper, and curry powder. Mix until well combined.
- Add the diced celery, sweet onion, halved grapes, parsley, and fresh dill. Gently fold everything together. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
