Cranberry chicken salad features chicken breast, pears, grapes, dried cranberries, celery, pecans and green onion tossed in a maple balsamic yogurt dressing that is loaded with flavor.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, salt and black pepper until combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
- Fold in the cooked chicken, pear, grapes, cranberries, celery, pecans and green onion until combined with the dressing.
- Serve immediately or let chill in the refrigerator. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
Recipe Notes:
Serving Tips: Serve the chicken salad as-is, in lettuce cups, on whole grain bread or with whole grain crackers.
Cooking Tip: Be sure to cook the chicken in advance. It can be sautéed in a hot, oiled skillet on the stove or roasted in the oven. Be sure the chicken reaches 165 degrees and is fully cooled before adding it to the salad.
