LIGHT & EASY CHICKEN SALAD

A LIGHT & EASY CHICKEN SALAD that’s low carb, high protein, and gluten free! This Chicken Salad is made with greek yogurt, mustard, grapes, and fresh lemon juice. Perfect for a quick lunch!

What I love about this recipe is how easy it is. If you don’t have boneless skinless chicken breast you can easily sub it with a Rotisserie Chicken.

You can add some tang to this chicken salad and take out the calories by adding greek yogurt and mustard instead of all mayo. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice can add so much to a chicken salad and makes it pop! In this Chicken Salad, you can actually taste the CHICKEN… uhhh… pretty ingenius right! It has the perfect amount of sauce versus chicken and grapes.
