Do you remember how I told you that I just didn’t care for Tuna Salad? Well, I have a confession. Chicken salad is a whole other story. I love Chicken Salad and could probably eat it every day of the week. I love the kind that is made with grapes and almonds. The kind that is sweet and savory at the same time. Of course, I have realized that this kind of Chicken Salad, may not be so good to indulge every day of the week. So I have been experimenting with Greek Yogurt instead of Mayo. I am so excited that my experimenting has paid off. I have found a Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad that may taste as good, if not better than the original.
My Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad is made with some of my favorite things. Pear Greek Yogurt, sun-dried Tomatoes, Greek Onions, Sea Salt and oh my… Pine Nuts! It is out of this world. Sweet, Salty and Crunchy. And if this wasn’t enough, I nestled the Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad in the middle of toasty Greek Pita Bread. If you have never tried Greek Pita Bread, you must! It is nothing like the traditional Pita Bread. It is just the perfect match for the Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked Chicken Breast, shredded
- 1 6 ounce Pear Greek Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Sundried Tomato, finely diced
- 2 Green Onions, diced
- 2 tablespoons Pine Nuts
- Sea Salt to taste
Instructions
- Mix the Chicken Breast and Greek Yogurt in bowl
- Add the Sundried Tomatoes and Green Onions
- Sprinkle with Pine Nuts and Sea Salt
- Serve with Greek Pita Bread, Whole Wheat Bread, Crackers, Veggie Sticks or on top of a garden salad

February 17, 2013 at 2:08 amWow! This looks fabulous Isabel. Definitely going to give it a try!
FamilyFoodie
February 17, 2013 at 8:34 amThanks so much Martin! Let me know what you think.
Stacy
February 17, 2013 at 4:13 amI am intrigued that you used a pear yogurt instead of plain. That never would have occurred to me, but I’ll be it lends just the perfect amount of sweetness to your chicken salad. Yum!
FamilyFoodie
February 17, 2013 at 8:35 amThe pear gave the salad an amazing fruity taste… I love the sweet and salty combo.
The Ninja Baker
February 17, 2013 at 4:20 amNow I know how I can use up my sun dried tomatoes in a delicious way. Don’t know why this fellow chicken salad fan didn’t think of it before …I’m fascinated too by the use of pear greek yogurt.
Thank you for the recipe, Isabel!
FamilyFoodie
February 17, 2013 at 8:36 amThe combo of the fruity yogurt with the sun-dried tomatoes created an amazing layer of flavors.
Nicole
February 17, 2013 at 7:28 amOh my goodness, a whole bunch of favorites all wrapped into one – this looks fabulous. I adore chicken salad and yours looks and sounds delicious.

February 17, 2013 at 9:46 amThis sounds like a yummy recipe! I have been wanting to try using Greek yogurt in place of mayo/sour cream/etc. in a recipe…the pear yogurt is such a cool idea for this chicken salad!
Shannon @VillageGirlBlog

Renee - Kudos Kitchen
February 17, 2013 at 10:59 amOh Isabel, you have me salivating over your list of ingredients here. LOVE that you used pear yogurt (brilliant) and PINE NUTS!!! Be still my heart! I’ll bet this is a chicken salad I could eat every day too. Maybe even twice a day 😉
Karen Hartzell (@InTheKitchenKP)
February 17, 2013 at 11:19 amNow that sounds like an amazing combination! I have seen greek yogurt as a sub for may, but it never occurred to me to use a flavored variety! Holy Cow! Pear, chicken and pine nuts…GENIUS!
sunithi

February 17, 2013 at 11:52 amGreek yogurt in place of yogurt in chicken salad is always a winner. Love the sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts. Yum!
Bea
February 17, 2013 at 12:55 pmI am a fan of greek yogurt and eat it almost every morning for breakfast. Now, adding it to chicken salad sounds just perfect! What a great recipe 🙂
Hezzi-D

Chris Baccus
February 17, 2013 at 3:43 pmThat pear yogurt is so good. What a wonderful way to incorporate it into a lunch or dinner meal.
Wendy (The Weekend Gourmet)
February 17, 2013 at 6:19 pmI love the pear-flavored yogurt here…what a nice subtle sweetness it must add! I too adore chicken salad and love to make mine with Greek yogurt too. It’s one of my favorite secret ingredients for lower-fat food that’s still rich and creamy!
Kim Bee

Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips
February 17, 2013 at 11:05 pmOooh, Chobani sent me some samples of Pear and I have a few left. I’ll have to get some chicken and try this!
Nancy @ gottagetbaked
February 18, 2013 at 12:39 amIsabel, my mouth dropped open when I saw the photo of this on your Facebook this morning. Thankfully I have a tub of Greek yogurt in my fridge meaning I can make this asap!
Dipti Joshi
February 18, 2013 at 2:21 amI have never tried Greek pita bread, but your combination of bread with chicken yogurt salad look tempting.
Lane @ Supper for a Steal
February 18, 2013 at 10:15 amI agree, Greek pita is the best! I love chicken salad, but I don’t really like mayo so when I make it I just use the tiniest amount to bind it all together. I will have to try with Greek yogurt.
Soni
February 18, 2013 at 11:02 amOoh this looks delish!I also love sweet with salty and crunchy!Never tried Greek pita and will be looking for it now 🙂
Helene Dsouza I Masala Herb
February 18, 2013 at 11:37 amyay that’s my kind of food!! The greek yogurt is such a great choice to turn it into a super skinny dish. Isabel you always surprise me with your awesome recipes.
