Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Cooked chicken breast
- 100 g Mayonnaise
- 100 g Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1.5 tsp Paprika powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Celery stalks
- 0.5 pieces Red onion
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Shred or dice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the celery stalks and red onion finely, then add them to the bowl with the chicken.
In a separate smaller bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, parsley, paprika powder, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad into an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and for the salad to chill thoroughly.
Once chilled, give the salad a quick stir and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve cold, either on its own, over a bed of greens, or as a sandwich filling.
