Ingredients

• 300 grams skinless, boneless chicken breast
• 2 large egg
• 100 grams low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 medium celery stalks
• 0.5 small red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Start by poaching the chicken breast. Place the chicken in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from pot, let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

While the chicken is cooking, place the eggs in a small saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 9 minutes. Remove from heat, place in a bowl of cold water to cool. Once cooled, peel and chop the eggs.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard to create the salad dressing.

Step 4

Dice the celery stalks and finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, eggs, celery, red onion, and parsley.

Step 6

Pour the yogurt-mustard dressing over the salad mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve cold on a bed of fresh greens or as a filling for whole-grain sandwiches.
