Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Sandwich
Description
The recipe starts with leftover rotisserie chicken shredded or chopped for a tender protein base. Red onion adds sharpness, while diced apple and halved grapes bring crunch and natural sweetness. Dried cranberries add chewy texture and tart flavor, complemented by slivered almonds for nutty crunch.
Greek yogurt acts as a creamy, tangy dressing mixed with fresh lemon juice and seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. This dressing lightly coats the ingredients, providing moisture without heaviness.
The salad is served on slices of bread with crisp Boston bibb lettuce, adding freshness and structure to the sandwich. This combination works well for a quick lunch or light dinner, balancing savory, sweet, and tangy flavors.
