- 3 cups cooked and chopped or shredded chicken (leftover, rotisserie, or canned chicken work great!)
- 0.33 cup diced celery
- 0.5 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or white vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cooked chicken, diced celery, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, fresh dill, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Stir everything together until it's perfectly combined and the chicken is coated in the creamy dressing.
Cover the bowl and pop it into the fridge for at least 1 hour. This lets all those delicious flavors mingle and makes the salad even better.
Once chilled, spoon your creamy dill chicken salad onto bread or croissants for a classic sandwich, adding lettuce, tomato, and a dill pickle if you like. It's also fantastic on crackers, wrapped in a tortilla, or simply served on a bed of fresh lettuce with a fork.
Any extra salad can be kept fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days.
