A few ways you can use this Healthy Chicken Salad:

Here’s what you need to make this Healthy Chicken Salad:

• Mayo made with avocado oil (I like this one!)
• Dijon Mustard
• Grapes
• Honeycrisp Apple
• Slivered Almonds
• Sea salt, pepper, garlic powder

How do you make your shredded chicken breast?

I prepare my shredded chicken by placing 2 chicken breasts and 1/2 cup chicken broth in the crockpot for 4+ hrs until you can shred with a fork. If you don’t want to do crockpot chicken, you can substitute this for rotisserie chicken! Making it an even easier recipe.

Can I substitute the mayo for greek yogurt?

Yes! If you aren’t a fan of mayo (I know not everyone is a fan!) then you can definitely substitute it for a plain greek yogurt.
