- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, cubed or shredded
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 teaspoons Curry powder
- 0.5 cup Celery, finely chopped

Instructions
Prepare the Rice a Roni according to the package instructions, substituting chicken broth for water to enhance the flavor. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and allow it to cool completely.
While the Rice a Roni cools, in a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and curry powder. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Fold in the cooked chicken, celery, red grapes, toasted almonds, and green onions into the dressing mixture. Stir gently to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the cooled Rice a Roni to the bowl. Mix everything together until the rice is well-coated with the dressing and all ingredients are incorporated.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a final stir and garnish with additional toasted almonds or green onions, if desired.
Serve chilled as a main dish or side dish.
