Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 3 breasts chicken shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup celery finely chopped
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 1 cup grapes quartered
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 tsp fresh parsley chopped

For the Dressing:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 packet Good Seasonings Italian Dressing Mix (0.7 oz)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

Preparation Steps:

  • Start by cooking the chicken breasts. You can either boil them, bake them, or pan-fry them until fully cooked. Ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, allow the chicken to cool before shredding or chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
  • While the chicken cools, finely chop the celery and green onions. Quarter the grapes, making sure to remove any seeds. Set these aside in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the shredded or chopped chicken to the bowl with the celery, green onions, and grapes. Toss together gently to mix.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, Good Seasonings Italian Dressing Mix, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Gently fold the dressing into the salad until all ingredients are coated evenly.
  • Finally, stir in the slivered almonds and chopped fresh parsley. These add a lovely crunch and enhance the overall flavor profile of the Chicken Salad with Grapes.
  • For best results, cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve it on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich, or on its own for a light meal.
