Instructions
Boil the chicken breast until fully cooked (about 15-20 minutes depending on thickness). Let it cool, then dice into small cubes.
Hard-boil the eggs (about 10 minutes), cool them in cold water, peel, and dice.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, eggs, potatoes, carrots, pickles, and thawed green peas.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing the low-fat Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently mix until everything is evenly coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with fresh dill before serving.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors meld together. Enjoy!
