Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 0.5 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 pieces celery stalks, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 head of butter or romaine lettuce

Instructions
Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the chicken breasts, reduce to medium heat, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
Remove the chicken from the water and allow it to cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks or your hands.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, celery, red onion, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Wash and separate the lettuce leaves, ensuring they remain whole and intact. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Spoon a portion of the chicken salad onto the center of each lettuce leaf.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
