Chicken Salad with Red Grapes and Toasted Pecans

I am not a fan of mayonnaise, but I love Chicken Salad. This recipe is one of my all time fav's! It is healthy and helps build up your metabolism!

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, boiled and cooled
1 cup halved grapes
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/3 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

For 1 Sandwich
2 slices of whole-wheat sandwich bread
1 butterhead lettuce leaf

Use your fingers to shred the chicken into a large bowl. Add the grapes and pecans and toss gently to mix ingredients. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, celery, honey, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the chicken and toss to coat. Place 1/2 cup chicken salad on 1 slice of bread. Top with the lettuce leaf and other slice of bread. Cut in half and serve.

Per 1/2 cup of chicken salad 118.6 calories
Per sandwich 209.4 calories

Enjoy :)

I must say the plain non-fat Greek yogurt is one of my favorite condiments to have in my fridge. I use it to replace sour cream, mayonnaise, I use it to make salad dressings and I love it for breakfast with cinnamon and almonds!
