Chicken Salad

 

 

AuthorRm
 ¾ cup quartered grapes
 ½ cup dried cherries
 ½ cup diced celery
 ½ cup diced carrots
 2 ½ cups chopped chicken (rotisserie, or a breast you chop and sauté)
 8 oz Greek yogurt (about a cup) (I use 1/2 vanilla and half plain)
 salt and pepper (to taste)
 ½ tsp dill weed
1

1. Keep your measuring cups handy! Quarter grapes and toss them in the cup until you have 3/4 cup. Put them in a large mixing bowl with the 1/2 cup cherries

2

2. Chop celery and carrots into small dice, measure your half cup, and add them to the grapes.

3

3. If using rotisserie chicken, pull chicken off bones, removing skin, and chop, measuring out 12-16 ounces of chicken (about 2 1/2 cups). If using raw chicken, use one LARGE boneless, skinless chicken breast. Dice it small and sauté until no longer pink and a little browned in a hot pan in a little olive oil, seasoning it with at least 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper. If you have cooked the chicken, you will need to cool it before adding it to the fruit and vegetables.

4. Add 1 cup Greek yogurt (I use 1/2 cup good quality vanilla such as Siggi's or Oui by Yoplait and 1/2 cup Greek such as Fage). Season with dill weed and taste for salt and pepper.

It gets better as it chills!
