Skinny Greek Chicken Salad
I just got back from Disney World!!! What does this have to do with a recipe for Skinny Greek Chicken Salad you may be asking yourself?
Well…I ate A LOT in Disney World, and enjoyed every bit of deep fried yumminess, ice cream cones stacked a mile high, and don’t even get me started on the Mickey shaped waffles!
This girl needs some light and healthy foods in her life after all that 🙂
I’m sure hoping this will help me get back on track.
It’s pretty simple to make and is great leftover as well.
How to make Skinny Greek Chicken Salad
In a bowl combine some shredded cooked chicken along with feta cheese, kalamata olives, sun dried tomatoes, and cucumber.
The shredded chicken is part of my Simple Shredded Chicken for Meal Prep that I make almost weekly.
You could also get a rotisserie chicken from the store and shred that up.
.
The “skinny” part of this greek chicken salad comes from the fact that I use nonfat Greek yogurt instead of traditional mayo.
Yes, I did add just 1/4 cup of light mayo. Why?
Because the last time I used straight yogurt and I felt it needed just that little bit of mayo.
It’s light mayo, so that makes it ok, right?!
A pop of color from the fresh basil will make you feel even better about eating this Skinny Greek Chicken Salad.
I served this with grilled Naan bread, but you could also serve with grilled pita.
Seriously I tried not to eat too much of the bread, didn’t want to cancel out the “skinny” part of this dish 😉
However I may have shocked my body if I went TOO healthy for my first meal back from vacation.
Making enough of whatever I cook to pack as lunch the next day is kinda my thing.
Work smarter not harder.
This time around I even made enough to pack lunch for my work BFF.
Afterall, she did put up with my warm weather vacation pics all week at work in the middle of winter.
