Chicken Salad Made A Little Healthier

I am not saying this Chicken Salad recipe should go on your diet menu plan, but it is a little healthier than traditional Hot Chicken Salad recipes.

The cream base is not made with a cream-of-soup. Instead it is made with plain Greek Yogurt, a little mayo, and Dijon mustard. The Greek yogurt adds extra protein and helps keep the calorie count a little lower.

I know the mayo, cheese, and french fried onions are not helping us in the health department. Just throw a couple extra leaves of spinach on there when you make your sandwich, because- balance- right!?

Make Ahead Recipe

Who loves a recipe that can be made ahead!? ME!

This is a super easy recipe to prep a day or two ahead from when you need it.

Simply mix all the ingredients together (except the french fried onions) and place it in your baking dish. Cover with foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

When you are ready to make the Chicken Salad, just pop it in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil, add the french fried onions, and bake for an additional 5 minutes at 300 degrees.

That was easy. Time to eat!
