My older sister Amanda and I are obsessed with chicken salad. After trying it from just about every restaurant over the years and experimenting with different recipes online, we both have used variations of ingredients, and I’m happy to say I think she’s finally found the perfect combination! This chicken salad is SO good.?
It makes a big batch (~12-14 generous servings), which is enough for Peyton and I to eat for lunch for the whole week and then some. Using ~1/2 Greek yogurt makes this recipe a little healthier than your standard chicken salad, and I promise you won’t miss the extra mayo. Enjoy!
