Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    If not already cooked, poach the chicken breasts in simmering water for about 15-20 minutes until fully cooked. Allow to cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, diced celery, halved red grapes, and sliced almonds.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, poppy seeds, salt, and black pepper until well blended.

  4. 4

    Mix Salad and Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled, optionally on a bed of greens.
