Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup low fat Greek yogurt
- 4 oz low fat cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 stick celery, finely chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the saucepan and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks or chop it finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low fat Greek yogurt and low fat cream cheese until smooth. You can use a fork or a hand mixer for a creamier texture.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well mixed.
Add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, and green onions to the yogurt mixture and stir until evenly combined.
Fold in the chopped fresh parsley and adjust the seasoning to taste.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the spread for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the low fat creamy chicken spread on whole grain bread, crackers, or as a dip with fresh vegetable sticks.
