Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup low fat Greek yogurt
• 4 oz low fat cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Step 2

Remove the chicken from the saucepan and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks or chop it finely.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the low fat Greek yogurt and low fat cream cheese until smooth. You can use a fork or a hand mixer for a creamier texture.

Step 4

Stir in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well mixed.

Step 5

Add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, and green onions to the yogurt mixture and stir until evenly combined.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped fresh parsley and adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the spread for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve the low fat creamy chicken spread on whole grain bread, crackers, or as a dip with fresh vegetable sticks.
