My chicken salad recipe has been a favorite ever since I first shared it way back in 2012! With grapes, celery, pecans and a simple creamy dressing, it's easy to make and loaded with flavor. It's the best way to use up leftover chicken!

📝 Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts or sliced almonds, toasted if desired)
  • 1/2 cup quartered grapes*
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion (optional)
  • bread, croissants or lettuce (for serving)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, stir together the plain Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  2. 2Add the cooked chicken, celery, nuts, grapes and red onion (if using). Stir until well combined.
  3. 3Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  4. 4Serve the chicken salad as a sandwich on bread or a croissant, over a bed of lettuce, or in a tortilla wrap or lettuce wraps.
