Healthy Green Goddess Chicken Salad (High-Protein)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken ((480g, 16oz))
  • optional: green onion, red onion, or chopped cucumber.
  • 1 medium avocado ((150g))
  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt (non-fat) ((228g), or yogurt of choice)
  • 1 cup fresh parsley ((60g))
  • ½ cup fresh dill, loosely packed ((4g))
  • ½ cup fresh mint ((12g))
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • ⅓ cup lemon juice ((80ml) about large lemons)
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil ((30ml))
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ tsp salt ((3g), more to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • 12 Tbsp water (optional to thin it out)

Instructions

  1. Shred your rotisserie chicken. I do this by pulsing it a few times in the food processor, but you can use 2 forks instead depending on how finely you prefer your chicken in a chicken salad.
  2. In a food processor or high-speed blender, add your dressing ingredients and blend until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add a bit of water as needed to thin it out.
  3. Add the chicken to a large bowl and pour the dressing on top. Give it a good mix to combine the dressing, making sure the chicken is coated.
  4. Optional: if you want, add in green onions, red onion, cucumber, or mashed white beans.
