Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain skyr or full-fat Greek yogurt 2% or whole milk
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast cubed (approximately one 1-pound package)
  • 1 cup diced celery roughly 1 large stalk
  • ¾ cup dried cherries
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper or to taste
  • For serving: wraps sandwich bread, lettuce cups, mixed salad greens, or preferred bases

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, begin by combining the chopped chicken breast with the yogurt, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated and the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  2. Next, fold in the diced celery, dried cherries, and chopped pecans. Use a rubber spatula or large spoon to gently mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and the salad has a creamy, textured consistency.
  3. Serve the cherry chicken salad in your favorite way—tucked into a sandwich, rolled into wraps, nestled in crisp lettuce cups, or spooned generously over a bed of fresh greens.
  4. Refrigerate any remaining salad in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to five days.
