Ingredients

Chicken Salad Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/3 cup pepperoncinis, chopped
  • 1/3 cup roasted red peppers, chopped (jarred, marinated kind)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp hot honey
  • 1 tbsp pepperoncini juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 oz crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked shredded chicken, diced celery, red onion, chopped pepperoncinis, and chopped roasted red peppers. These fresh and tangy ingredients set the base for the salad.
  2. Mix Dressing: To the bowl, add the mayonnaise, plain non-fat Greek yogurt, hot honey, pepperoncini juice, chopped fresh dill, dried oregano, garlic powder, and salt. These create the creamy and flavorful dressing that complements the chicken perfectly.
  3. Incorporate Feta: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese until evenly distributed throughout the salad, enhancing the dish with its salty tang and creaminess.
  4. Serve: Serve the chicken salad immediately on its own, with crackers, or use it as a filling for wraps or sandwiches. The salad can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature.

  • Adjust the hot honey and pepperoncini juice according to your preferred level of sweetness and tanginess.
  • This salad can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days to meld flavors.
  • Use freshly cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Serve chilled for best flavor and texture.
