- 0.5 cups Celery, finely diced
- 0.25 cups Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 whole Granny Smith apple, diced
- 0.25 cups Cranberries, dried

- 4 whole Large bell peppers, halved and deseeded (or hollowed-out bread bowls or large tomatoes)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken breast, mayonnaise, and Greek yogurt. Mix well until evenly coated.
Add the diced celery, red onion, diced Granny Smith apple, dried cranberries, sliced almonds, and chopped parsley to the bowl.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the mixture, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Taste the chicken salad and adjust the salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference, if necessary.
Prepare your stuffing vehicles (hollowed-out bell peppers, bread bowls, or tomatoes) by removing seeds and membranes to create room for filling.
Spoon the chicken salad generously into each halved bell pepper, hollowed-out bread bowl, or tomato until evenly filled.
Serve immediately as a fresh, chilled meal or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Optionally, garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of almonds for presentation.
