Servings:

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast (~3-3.5 cups) cooked and shredded or chopped
1/3 cup sweet onion diced small
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
6 slices bacon cooked and chopped
1/2 cup celery diced small
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt more to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper more to taste
for serving: bread, romaine lettuce, crackers or chips

Instructions

In a small bowl, add Greek yogurt, mayonnaise and spices. Combine.
In a large bowl, add chicken, onion, tomatoes, bacon, and celery.
Add the dressing to the large bowl and combine gently until ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Add additional mayo or Greek yogurt, salt or pepper to taste.
Serve in between two slices of bread with lettuce as a sandwich, in a wrap, lettuce cup, over a salad, or with crackers and veggies.

Notes

If you're starting with raw chicken breast or tenders, season as desired and bake at 375 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment for your bacon and bake alongside the chicken, begin checking at 20 minutes for desired crispness.
