Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups 300g cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • ½ cup 120g plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp 15g Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp 15ml fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt adjust to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
Fresh Add-Ins
  • ½ cup 75g chopped celery
  • ¼ cup 40g finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup 50g chopped cucumber
  • 2 tbsp 8g fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

  1. Start by shredding the cooked chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces using two forks or your hands. Pull the chicken apart gently so it stays tender and not mashed. If the chicken feels dry, you can add a teaspoon of lemon juice or a small spoon of yogurt to keep it moist and fresh.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by adding the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use a spoon or whisk to mix everything thoroughly until the dressing becomes smooth, creamy, and well combined with no lumps.
  3. Add the shredded chicken into the bowl with the dressing, followed by the chopped celery, red onion, cucumber, and parsley. Using a spatula or spoon, gently mix everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing. Take your time to ensure every bite has a balanced mix of flavors and textures.
  4. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add a pinch more salt, a squeeze of lemon juice for extra freshness, or a bit more yogurt if you prefer a creamier texture. Mix again lightly after adjusting.
  5. For the best flavor, cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 20–30 minutes. This allows the ingredients to blend together and enhances the overall taste. Once chilled, give it a quick stir and serve fresh, either on its own, in lettuce wraps, or alongside your favorite healthy sides.
