Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with the avocado mash and add lemon juice to taste. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper and set aside.
Add the shredded chicken to the chopped celery, grapes, pecans, red onion, tarragon and cranberries (optional) to a large bowl. Add the yogurt avocado sauce to the chicken mixture and toss until well combined, then season with more salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the chicken salad as a sandwich, salad, or as the filling for an appetizer.

Notes

I use my Instant Pot pressure cooker to quickly cook my shredded chicken perfectly every time. You can make things just as simple by use store-bought rotisserie chicken instead.
