Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken breast cooked and shredded, 500g
- 1/2 cup red onion finely diced - yellow works too, 80g
- 1/4 cup basil pesto 60g
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise light, (60g
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt use dairy-free if needed, 60g
- 1 tsp basil dried
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients. Fold until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
- Taste and add any salt and/or pepper to taste (I used rotisserie chicken so didn't need to add any salt!)
- Serve as a sandwich, on toast, in a wrap or lettuce wrap, over a bed of greens or enjoy as is!
Notes
- To make dairy-free: use dairy-free greek yogurt (or sub for more mayo)
- To store: Store your chicken salad in an airtight container. It will last in the fridge for 4-5 days.
- How To Eat Pesto Chicken Salad:
- As a sandwich – The classic way! Place pesto chicken salad between two pieces of bread or croissant for one of your new favorite sandwiches!
- As open-faced sandwich – Spread chicken salad on a warm, toasted piece of sandwich bread.
- As a wrap – Grab your favorite kind of tortilla or lettuce wraps and roll this chicken salad inside!
- On top of a salad – I like to eat this over a bed of leafy greens or romaine lettuce with some crackers on the side. It’s also delicious with diced avocado for some additional healthy fats.
- Straight up – An easy way is to just enjoy by the forkful. It’s so delicious!
