There is a little local cafe a few towns over that sells the most amazing Chicken Salad With Greek Yogurt and Dill. Dill is like crack to me and I’m not sure I quite understand people who don’t like it. What is not to like people? Dill is gold! I love it on fish, in this Chicken Salad With Greek Yogurt and Dill, but most importantly, I love it on scrambled eggs. OMG, the eggs people.
I’ll stop lecturing you about your appalling lack of dill love. Back to the sandwich. This Chicken Salad With Greek Yogurt and Dill is everything you want in a sandwich. It’s hearty while also being light, it is chock-full of flavor, and at the cafe it is served on fresh homemade honey wheat bread (try making your own Simple Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread at home).
Most importantly, the cafe also sells raspberry and white chocolate homemade croissants. Daaaamn Gina!
Is Chicken Salad Good for You?
Such a good question my friends; I’m glad you asked. A traditional chicken salad that has mayo in it is probably not the best option for a light and healthy lunch. But this chicken salad with Greek yogurt is going to rock your tastebuds all without the added extra fat of mayo. And you know how I feel about mayo. No Bueno.
The best part of this chicken salad is that you can and should use leftover chicken. Maybe you roasted a chicken for dinner, grilled up a few chicken breast, or even picked up a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store. All of those are amazing and quick options to use up leftover chicken. When I’m in a pinch, I throw a chicken breast in my Instant Pot and cook it on manual for 22 minutes and then shred. What I’m trying to say is you have options m’kay?
And while you have the Instant Pot out, why not make some Easy Instant Pot Yogurt and take this chicken salad to the next freaking level? Just go ahead and give it a good scrub down after cooking that chicken breast in it, because, gross. I run a clean kitchen, my friends.
