What do you call a chicken staring at a piece of lettuce?….
A chicken sees-a-salad! 🥗🐔
This week’s recipe is short and sweet. (If you’re in search of something a little hardier, you can search some of my other recipes by clicking HERE). And no, not a chicken Caesar salad—rather, its just-as-delicious, lighter second cousin: chicken salad! If you want a filling, quick lunch and you’re tired of the same old turkey sandwich, you’re in luck!
This easy recipe comes together in 20 minutes tops and is packed with flavor. I like mine on the sweeter side, so more honey and craisins are always a good time (not a big fan of pecans, but if they’re your jam, go for it!). Pile it onto a large toasted croissant and voilà! A perfect meal on the go. Let’s get to it!
THE GOODS – Ingredients:
- 2 canned chicken breasts (12.5 oz.) or cooked, shredded chicken breast
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup honey (or more, if you love it sweet!)
- 1 cup craisins
- Salt & pepper (liberal amount)
- Splash of olive oil
- Optional: 1 cup roasted pecans (halved or chopped)
- Optional: 1 cup of red grapes (halved)
THE ACTION – Instructions:
1️⃣ Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl, then refrigerate.
2️⃣ Spread on a toasted croissant, a Hawaiian roll, or enjoy with crackers!
There you have it—the easiest, tastiest chicken salad you’ll ever whip up! Whether you keep it classic or jazz it up with your own twist, this recipe is a keeper. Are you a team extra honey, or do you sneak in something unexpected? Drop your favorite add-ins in the comments—I’m always down to try a new twist! 🍯🥪✨
