Love chicken salad, but hate mayo? Tired of the extra fat and calories which that greasy emulsion adds to this southern meat spread? Omit it! Instead of mayo, sub in fat-free plain Greek yogurt! It eliminates the fat worry and adds an extra 12 grams of protein to the batch.
High Protein Chicken Salad
8 oz raw chicken breast or tenderloins (must be boneless, skinless)
6 oz plain Greek yogurt
2 T pickle relish
1 T spicy mustard (such as Zatarain`s)
2 celery stalks (chopped fine)
2 oz walnuts, chopped
Boil chicken breasts until cooked through. Remove from water. (TIP: Save this liquid and use it later as your stock for a soup!)
Pulse chicken in a food processor until it is of a finely minced texture. Combine this with all other ingredients. Serve with whole wheat crackers, on whole wheat bread, or on top of a salad!
