Chicken Recipe ⇒ Healthy Chicken Salad

A protein-packed alternative to the normal chicken salad. This one is healthier, quick, and easy to make. I peeled my apple, personal preference, but feel free to add it unpeeled.

Ingredients

• 1 (6 ounce) container fat-free Greek yogurt (such as Fage®)
• ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
• ½ cup chopped celery
• ½ cup diced apple
• ¼ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)
• 2 tablespoons chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
• ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 ¼ cups cubed, cooked chicken
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Combine Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, celery, apple, cranberries, onion, pecans, and Dijon mustard in a bowl; stir until well combined. Mix in chicken and season with salt and pepper.
