Raising Kids on Real Food–Healthy Chicken Salad

Sandwiches are one of my favorite things to prepare and eat for family dinner in the summer.  Cooking anything in the oven or on the stove just makes the house even hotter.  Sometimes I don’t even like dealing with a crock pot!  This recipe will not heat up your house, other than when you cook the chicken quickly. And you can always get a rotisserie chicken, although I prefer just the chicken breast meat in this healthy chicken salad recipe.

My girls love the grapes, nuts and yogurt in this salad.  They find chicken salad with mayo a bit yucky, but this way it seems as if they are eating a yummy cup of yogurt! (They are used to just plain flavored yogurt.)

Healthy Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

2 Chicken Breasts, seasoned, cooked and diced

1 3/4 cups of Plain Yogurt

3 tsp of Curry

3 Celery Ribs, chopped

1/2 of an Onion, chopped

1 1/2 cups Grapes, halved

4 tsp of Parsley, chopped

1 cup chopped almonds OR pecans OR cashews OR walnuts (my girls usually pick cashews)

Salt & Pepper

Directions:

1. Combine yogurt and curry powder in small bowl. Then add in the chicken, grapes, celery, onion, nuts and parsley.  Season with salt and pepper.

2. Serve on whatever sandwich bread you like. We really enjoy this with a high grain & seed bread.  The textures go together really perfectly. Such a perfect Healthy Chicken Salad recipe!

    I will definitely have to try this. I LOVE chicken salad. I would leave the curry out, but everything looks great.

    Have you tried the chicken salad at Subway? It’s pretty good, and low fat and calories.

    I love that this recipe calls for plain yogurt instead of mayo. Mayo kind of grosses me out…

    I’m so worried about the direction our love ones are heading in nowadays. Watching Jamie Olivers food revolution on tv the other day scared the thingies out of me. I suggest we all start cooking some healthy recipes like these at home if we’re going to fix this horrible situation. The ones on that site seem pretty easy, I tried last night and it’s the first time my family has eaten well in ages, I just feel wonderful.
