cranberryyogurtchickensalad1
cranberryyogurtchickensalad2
cranberryyogurtchickensalad3
Not only is this lower in calories, than most salad recipes, this is beneficial! Using Greek Yogurt! AMAZING tasting Salad, that just happens to be Healthier!

About 1.5 lb To 1.75 lb Chicken Breasts (Boiled in CHICKEN BROTH)
2.5T Mayo
1 container Raspberry Greek Yogurt (W/fruit kind), stir well
3/4tsp Lemon Juice (Concentrate kind)
1tsp  To 1T Grated Parmesan Cheese (Store shelf kind. I think I did 1tsp)
1/4tsp Sea Salt
1/4c Carrot, grated
1/4-1/3c Celery, minced (3rd long way then sliced)
1/4c Onion, minced
1/3c Sweetened Dried Cranberries

Wrap/Bread of choice: Lettuce Leaf, Bun, Bagel, Taco Shell, etc.

I boil chicken in water with few Chicken Broth Cubes, I don’t do exact ratio of water to cube, I just throw a few CRUSHED cubes in. Once cooked, I allow to set a few minutes in broth. Remove chicken and cut up. Toss with rest, EXCEPT, sunflower seeds. Top with desired amount of sunflower seeds.

Notes: I always premake about 20minutes prior to serving time. Place in fridge. If sits too long, chicken will absorb flavor! I believe I did 1tsp of Parm. Cheese… Not sure. Start with 1tsp… Taste test. Make this into a pasta with cooked bow tie noodles.
Upping Mayo, etc. Optional… To your taste! Choice to Miracle Whip up the bread, is optional… As well.
