Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and juices run clear.
Remove the chicken breasts from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
While the chicken is resting, in a large bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, reduced-fat mayonnaise, lemon juice, and mustard until well combined.
Cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it to the yogurt mixture.
Add the chopped celery, sliced green onions, and parsley to the mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if necessary.
Chill the chicken mayo in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, before serving.
Serve the chilled low-fat classic chicken mayo on whole-grain bread for a sandwich or on a bed of mixed greens for a light salad.
