Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, then shred into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, low-fat mayonnaise, curry powder, turmeric, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth.
Add the shredded chicken, sultanas, and almonds to the yogurt mixture and toss until the chicken is well coated. Adjust seasoning to taste.
