Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat bread rolls
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Celery, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.75 cup Grapes, halved
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven preheats, use a sharp knife to carefully cut a circular top from each whole wheat bread roll and hollow out the center, forming a bread bowl. Place the hollowed-out bread pieces and tops on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 5 minutes until slightly crisp.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, grapes, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated, creating a creamy chicken salad.
Line each toasted bread bowl with a piece of lettuce to add freshness and prevent sogginess.
Divide the chicken salad mixture evenly among the four bread bowls, spooning it gently over the lettuce.
Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Enjoy your Chicken Salad in a Whole Wheat Bread Bowl for a delightful and healthy meal!
