Ingredients

  • 3 cups about 1 pound shredded or cubed chicken*
  • 1/3 cup finely diced white onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped artichokes
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes use the jarred kind stored in oil for best results
  • 1/4 cup diced kalamata olives
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or use mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or use additional Greek yogurt, add more for consistency as desired
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste Kalamata olives are salty, so taste before salting

Instructions

  • If you need to cook chicken for this recipe, salt & pepper chicken and bake at 375ºF for 15 minutes on each side for a total of 30 minutes. Alternatively, pan-fry in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, turning after about 8-10 minutes on each side and until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Feel free to use rotisserie, canned or precooked chicken.
  • Shred or chop the 3 cups about 1 pound shredded or cubed chicken* and combine it with 1/3 cup finely diced white onion, 1/2 cup chopped artichokes, 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and 1/4 cup diced kalamata olives.
  • Add in the 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, and stir to combine. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired.
  • Serve chicken salad with your favorite bread or crackers. Or wrap the salad in lettuce wraps or a tortilla.

Notes

*I love using rotisserie chicken when I don’t have leftovers on hand, it adds so much extra flavor to the salad!
You can use all Greek yogurt or go with all mayo (or substitute Greek yogurt with more mayo) if you prefer a richer, creamier salad.
Store leftover chicken salad in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
