Made with tender rotisserie chicken, crisp celery, toasted almonds and it's all coated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce. It's excellent for a summer lunch and meal prep.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup thick plain Greek yogurt, such as Fage
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 Tbsp prepared yellow mustard
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, chilled, or cooked chopped chicken breast, chilled
- 3/4 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
- 3 slices cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add cooked chicken, celery, green onion, parsley and almonds. Also add bacon if you want to include it.
- Toss mixture to evenly coat with the dressing mixture.
- If you'd like it any tangier you can add a little more dijon mustard to taste or a spritz of lemon, if you want it a little sweeter you can add a little more honey. For a thicker chicken salad just let it rest in the fridge for a few hours allowing some of the sauce to soak into the chicken.
Notes
- This is delicious served over bread slices such as sourdough, rye, French, or wheat bread. Or for a low carb option serve in romaine lettuce leaves.
- Bacon not included in nutrition estimate as it is optional. Bread or other serving options also not included.
- If you want a more yellow chicken salad just add a few pinches of turmeric which will also boost seasoned flavor as well.
- You can serve this right away or store in the fridge in an airtight container for several days.
