Southwest Chicken Salad

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.
