Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 piece celery stalk
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season them with salt and ground black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the dressing by combining Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Dice the celery stalk and red onion finely, and chop the parsley.
Let the cooked chicken breasts cool slightly. Once cooled, shred them using two forks.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced celery, and red onion with the prepared dressing. Mix until the chicken is well coated.
Stir in the chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the chicken mayo with bread for sandwiches, in lettuce cups, or over a salad.
