Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Celery stalks, finely chopped
- 0.5 medium Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Almonds, sliced
- 1 cup Red grapes, halved
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
Start by poaching the chicken breasts. Place them in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked thoroughly.
Remove the chicken from the water and let it cool down slightly. Once cool enough, shred it into small pieces using two forks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with Greek yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the chicken.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Add in the chopped celery, red onion, sliced almonds, and halved grapes. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad mixture onto each lettuce leaf.
Roll or fold the leaves to enclose the chicken salad and serve immediately.
