Ingredients
-
4 cups cooked shredded or diced chicken breasts (I used the two breasts of a rotisserie chicken)
-
1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt ( I like 2-5%)
-
2 Tbsp mayo
-
⅓ cup Frank’s Red Hot Original Sauce
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
2 cups celery (about 4 stalks), diced
-
½ cup green onions, thinly sliced
-
⅓ cup blue cheese, crumbled (optional)
-
Pepper to taste
Instructions
-
To a large bowl, add the chicken, yogurt, mayo, hot sauce, garlic powder, celery, green onion and blue cheese if using. Mix to combine well and season with pepper or more hot sauce to taste. If it’s too dry, add a bit more yogurt or mayo, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing as you go until desired consistency is reached.
-
Serve with crackers, chips or fresh veggies or use it as filling for a wrap,sandwich, or even heated up in a quesadilla! Enjoy!
Notes
This salad is delicious served warm too! Use it as a quesadilla or taco filling, or make a melt by adding it to bread or a bagel, topping with cheese and toasting until warmed through!
