Healthier Chicken Salad
When I say I LOVE chicken salad that is a huge understatement. I'm not sure if it's just a Southern thing but my love for chicken salad goes long and deep. I remember back in the day when I lived in Macon, Georgia during law school that I had a weekly treat/ritual involving chicken salad.During this time I was very disciplined with my diet during the week, but when it came to Saturday I was ready for a little splurge. There was a wonderful little sandwich shop that I loved. Sadly, it is no longer in business, but I'm telling you they had the BEST chicken salad ever. I would go for lunch and treat myself to a chicken salad sandwich and a wonderful refreshing lemonade. It was heaven and made my week. Since Spring is on its way, I made a batch of my Healthy Chicken Salad this week. While I admit it is not as decadent and delicious as that weekly treat during law school, it is a WHOLE lot healthier and still a treat!HEALTHIER CHICKEN SALAD3 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped4 celery stalks, diced1 cup No Fat Plain Greek Yogart1/2 Cup Chopped Roasted Pecanspepper to taste1 tsp (or more) dried dillDIRECTIONS:Cook chicken according to your preference - I boiled mine until cooked.
