Easy Chicken Salad with Grapes

Yield: 4 servings 1x
Prep: 10 minutesTotal: 10 minutes

This super quick and Easy Chicken Salad with Grapes is made with the help of a food processor! My version is packed with veggies, chicken breast, and red grapes in a creamy dressing. Perfect to make-ahead for the week’s lunches!

Scale:

Ingredients

  • 2 stalks of celery
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and top removed
  • 1/4 red onion
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked (or about 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 1/2 cups red grapes, halved
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt & fresh ground black pepper
  • to serve: sliced bread, lettuce cups, croissants, crackers, etc

Instructions

  1. Process veggies: Cut the celery, carrots, onion and chicken breasts into large chunks so they fit into the food processor. First, add the celery, carrots and onion to the food processor. With the lid on, pulse the veggies for about 10 seconds, until they appear very finely minced. Take the lid off and pour the processed veggies into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Process chicken: Add the chunks of chicken breast to the food processor. With the lid on, pulse 5-7 times, until the chicken appears very finely shredded. This will happen quickly, so be sure to watch the chicken and not overprocess. Pour the processed chicken into the bowl with the veggies.
  3. Mix it together: Add all the remaining ingredients to the large mixing bowl with the veggies and chicken, including the grapes, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, dill, mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir together until well mixed and creamy. Add additional salt or pepper to taste.
  4. Serve & store: Serve immediately if your ingredients were cold. If the chicken was warm, it’s best to store the prepared salad for at least 4 hours until well chilled before eating. Serve with crackers, on bread, in lettuce wraps, or on a croissant. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

Mayo vs Greek Yogurt: Feel free to use all of either one or a combo of both like I did in the recipe. I prefer a bit of each in my chicken salad. Nutrition information estimated with My Fitness Pal and includes chicken salad only.
