How to make Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad
A couple weeks ago, Michelle from 4 Men 1 Lady contacted me to do a healthy recipe for her amazing site. I was THRILLED! I love chicken salad, and it is one of those recipes that is easy to “lighten” up.
Are you a vegetarian? You don’t have to miss out. I also made a batch for Darryl and substituted in his vegetarian chicken strips. They worked fantastic! This Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad recipe is SO easy to whip up in no time and can be served in so many ways.
Did I mention each serving is only only 99 calories!

Yum! We usually do ours with grapes, but dried cranberries would be great!
Bethany Copley says
I am just curious…why add the mayo to it? is it necessary for flavor or to give it oomph?
Corey says
Bethany, I find that it takes some of the “zing” out of the Greek Yogurt.
John says
I use Oikos Vegetable and Herb dip and it adds the perfect taste to my chicken salad.

Made the recipe with canned chicken very good. I did tell the wife it was made with Greek yoguart and she really liked it.

What is the suggested serving size? 1/2 cup?

Hi, Corey!
I made this with (unfortunately) slightly “overcooked” Instant Pot white meat chicken. I didn’t have mayo, so I used low fat Ranch Dressing instead. I increased the yogurt by a quarter cup to assist with lessening the dry effect of the slightly overcooked chicken. Chopping the chicken, and then mixing it with the yogurt and ranch dressing, definitely softened the chicken completely! With the addition of the raisins, it took this chicken salad to the next level. My husband loved it! Also didn’t include celery, because I didn’t have any! Didn’t miss it. Thank you, Corey, for a delicious recipe!
Corey says
So happy you loved it Denise 🙂
