Ingredients
Steps
Prepare the chicken by shredding or finely dicing 1 lb of cooked chicken breast and place it into a large mixing bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and chop the fresh basil and Calabrian chili peppers.
In the bowl with the chicken, add the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, chopped Calabrian chili peppers, fresh basil, and diced red onion.
Add the lemon juice and garlic powder to the mixture.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Stir all ingredients together until the chicken is thoroughly coated and the herbs and peppers are evenly distributed.
Serve immediately as a salad, in a sandwich, or as a dip with crackers or vegetables.
Notes
Inspired by Carolina Gelen's Marry-Me Chicken Salad. For best results, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
