Chicken Salad

This Chicken Salad recipe is the best easy healthy chicken salad made with fresh poached chicken and a creamy low-fat Greek yogurt dressing!
Chicken salad is such a classic summer dish that’s great for picnics, barbecues, beach days, and even take-to-school or work lunches. It’s made of cooked chicken meat that’s shredded or diced, mixed with other ingredients to create a filling for sandwiches or wraps, a topping for veggie-based or lettuce-based salads, or as a dish all by itself.
We love to enjoy it in the summertime because it’s an easy-to-throw-together dish that stores easily in the fridge, it’s cold and refreshing, and it’s great to take on the go!
