Ingredients
- 1½ cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ packet Knorr's Pesto Seasoning Mix
- ½ cup diced apple
- 2 tbsp red onion diced
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp slivered almonds
- 1 talk celery
- hot sauce just a splash
- lemon juice just a splash
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Mix together. Pour in pesto seasoning and mix until completely dissolved.
- If not already done, shred your chicken, then add to bowl with the dressing.
- Chop celery, red onion, slivered almonds, and apple into fine pieces. Add to bowl with the dressing and stir until everything is completely coated.
- Stir in a pinch of salt and cracked pepper to taste.
- Enjoy with a fork, on bread, with crackers, over lettuce or my favorite, on a wrap!
Notes
- To make a wrap, layer spinach, avocado, a little more hot sauce, and chicken salad on a wrap. Fold like a burrito and devour!
- Chicken salad is a great lunch option because it's so customizable. Depending on your preferences, you may find yourself wanting to add more/less fresh/wet ingredients. I like a really dense chicken salad with lots of chicken and add-ins. Measure accordingly for your liking, and if you don’t like a certain ingredient, swap it out for something else!
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. If enjoying as a sandwich or wrap, store separately from the bread.
