Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 0.5 cup Toasted pecans, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Celery, finely chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (light or regular)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and toast the pecans for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sliced strawberries, toasted pecans, chopped celery, and sliced green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately on a bed of lettuce, as a sandwich filling, or with crackers. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 2 days for flavors to meld further.
