# Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad for Workdays

*Recipe by [@mealprepmike](https://save.cooking/@mealprepmike)*

A high-protein chicken salad made with Greek yogurt instead of mayo—fast to prep, easy to portion, and built for consistent weekday lunches.

This is the kind of meal-prep staple that keeps your week on track: protein-forward, low-fuss, and dependable. Mix it once, portion it out, and you’ve got grab-and-go lunches that don’t feel like a compromise. It holds up well for a few days and works in wraps, sandwiches, or straight from the container.

**Total Time:** 15 minutes | **Prep:** 15 minutes | **Servings:** 4

## Ingredients

### Chicken & Base

- 3 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded (about 1 1/2 lb cooked; rotisserie chicken works)
- 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

### Crunch & Mix-ins

- 1 cup celery, small dice (about 3 stalks)
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup cucumber, seeded and diced (optional, for extra crunch)
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta
- 1/4 cup chopped dill (or 1 tbsp dried dill)

### Seasoning

- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper

### For Serving (optional)

- 4 whole-wheat wraps or pitas
- 8 cups chopped romaine or mixed greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

## Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth.

2. Add chicken, celery, red onion, and cucumber (if using). Toss until evenly coated.

3. Fold in feta and dill. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and lemon juice as needed.

4. Portion into 4 airtight containers (about 1 1/4 cups each). Refrigerate.

5. Serve in wraps/pitas or over greens with tomatoes. Keep cold until ready to eat.
