Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Sandwich
From the plump grapes to the sweet cranberries, this lightened up sandwich won’t even taste healthy! PROMISE!
This is one of my favorite (and easiest – DUH!) ways to whip up a light, healthy lunch when I’m in a rush.
All you need is some leftover rotisserie chicken from the night before, Greek yogurt, some grapes and apples, and you’re golden.
Yes, Greek yogurt. I promise you.
You won’t miss the mayo. At all.
Trust me on this one. You’ll thank me tomorrow. And the next day. And the next. And pretty much for the rest of your life.

Use this same recipe (leave out onion and garlic) and add pineapple/almonds/mandarin oranges, or cranberries/walnuts/sunflower seeds. I even do one with chicken, greek yogurt, curry powder to taste, golden raisins and pine nuts! It’s a great base to add whatever you like! I even throw in some ground flax seeds! Thanks for sharing!
Just tried this recipe, I have to say it was delicious. I was unsure about the greet yogurt, but I couldn’t even taste it with the grapes and everything else. Yum..will definitely make again!
Wow! This is the best chicken salad I’ve ever tried. Delicious!
I just made this recipe this afternoon and it is delicious! Grapes aren’t in season right now so I used pomegranate seeds instead and it came out great- thanks for the inspiration!
That sounds like an amazing substitution. Will definitely have to try that next time!
