Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, whole milk)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Curry powder
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 medium Granny Smith apple (diced)
• 1 cup Red grapes (halved)
• 2 stalks Celery (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Almonds (sliced, toasted)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 4 slices or cups Whole grain bread or lettuce leaves (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the chicken breasts, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 2

Remove the chicken from the water and let it rest for 10 minutes, then dice into bite-sized pieces or shred with a fork.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Add the cooked chicken, diced apple, halved grapes, chopped celery, toasted almonds, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 6

Cover the chicken salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve the curried chicken salad on whole grain bread as a sandwich, or scoop it onto crisp lettuce leaves for a lighter, low-carb option.
