Ingredients
- 500 g Cooked chicken breast
- 100 g Mayonnaise
- 100 g Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1.5 tsp Paprika powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Celery stalks
- 0.5 pieces Red onion
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Shred or dice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Chop the celery stalks and red onion finely, then add them to the bowl with the chicken.
Step 3
In a separate smaller bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, parsley, paprika powder, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad into an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and for the salad to chill thoroughly.

Once chilled, give the salad a quick stir and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve cold, either on its own, over a bed of greens, or as a sandwich filling.
