I love chicken salad. All kinds, with all kinds of ingredients. It is one of the best ways, in my opinion to eat leftover chicken (or turkey). A couple of weeks ago we were having some friends over and I wanted to make something that could be eaten as an appetizer but was heavy enough to be a lunch. They were coming over for dinner but getting here early to swim and relax by the pool. I didn’t want anyone starving so I decided on chicken salad. We ate it by itself and on crackers that day but you could very easily eat this on a sandwich as well. It’s made with Greek yogurt that’s flavored with garlic and onion powders so it isn’t lacking in any flavor. I like to use Greek yogurt as a substitute for mayo but sometimes it seems like it’s missing some of the flavor. This was not. It was so yummy that it was gone very fast. Give it a shot for a quick and easy lunch or a dinner while it’s hot and you don’t want to turn on that stove.

This is so yummy. My husband loved it, but then he likes most anything Aubrey cooks! But this, he tried it before finding out about the greek yogurt and it was so good he didn’t even care. And I agree with Aubrey it was perfect for lunch because it was cold and filling but not too much.
