This Greek Chicken Salad is one of my favorite no-fuss meals. It’s high-protein, fresh, and comes together in under 20 minutes with ingredients you probably already have on hand. Instead of mayo, I use Greek yogurt with lemon juice for a light and creamy base, then load it up with juicy chicken, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and feta.
It’s perfect for meal prep, weekday lunches, or a quick dinner when you don’t feel like cooking. And the best part? You can scoop it up with crackers or cucumber slices—no lettuce required.
Ingredients (Serves 3–4)
- 2 ½ cups cooked chicken –
- Quick Bake Method: Toss 1 lb pasture-raised chicken tenders with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes until juicy. Cool slightly, then shred (stand mixer with paddle = finely diced perfection).
- Shortcut: Use a plain rotisserie chicken, skin removed.
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup pitted kalamata olives (optional)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 ½ Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Crackers or thick cucumber slices, for serving
Directions
- Prep the Chicken – Shred the baked tenders or rotisserie chicken. (Pro tip: stand mixer + paddle attachment = perfectly diced chicken in seconds.)
- Mix the Dressing – In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Combine – Fold in chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, feta, and olives until well coated.
- Serve – Scoop onto crackers or cucumber rounds and enjoy immediately—or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
