Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shredded chicken

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, optional
  • 1 cup green grapes, quartered

Instructions

  1. Shred chicken into thin strips. If cooking chicken, use boneless skinless chicken breasts blanched in lightly salted water for 14-16 minutes until cooked and shreddable.

  3. Gently mix in quartered grapes and taste the salad. Adjust flavors by adding more lemon or salt if necessary.

For added flavor, try substituting some of the yogurt with a little mayonnaise if preferred.
Feel free to customize by adding nuts or other fruits like apples for different textures.
