Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, non-fat
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 pieces Celery stalks, chopped
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup Grapes, halved
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and pour the low-sodium chicken broth over them. The broth should just cover the chicken.

Step 2

Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 3

Remove the chicken from the broth and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken using two forks.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and honey. Stir well until the dressing is smooth and well-blended.

Step 5

Add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, red onion, halved grapes, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Gently toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve the low-fat shredded chicken salad on a bed of mixed greens, in a sandwich, or as a filling for wraps. Enjoy!
