Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad

"A classic Southern chicken salad recipe is lightened up with the rich, tangy flavor of Greek yogurt. You’ll love the sweet, savory, and crunchy combination of tender meat, juicy grapes, celery, and pecans in this simple make-ahead lunch or dinner. A basic chicken salad recipe has been one of my favorite make-ahead lunch or easy dinner options for as long as I can remember. My mom serves it regularly, and I’ve tweaked my own version over the years to make it absolutely perfect. While a curried chicken salad with grapes is delicious for a change of pace, and my go-to chicken salad with tarragon is a sure hit with guests, this lightened-up twist is a welcome update!"
