Step 1
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.

Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to cool, then dice into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6
In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
