Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, (6 to 8 ounces each)
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring 1 inch salted water to a boil in a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Add chicken, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 5 minutes. Off heat, let chicken (still covered) steam until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from skillet; when cool enough, cut into chunks or shred with 2 forks.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise, buttermilk, mustard, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Stir in chicken, celery, onion, and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Serve on bread or over greens.

This chicken salad is not only delicious, but it's also very healthy. I love that it's made with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
