ingredients
  • 4 cups cooked and shredded or sliced chicken
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil
  • 2 cups chopped baby spinach
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano (or Italian seasoning (link))

directions
  1. Combine the chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, celery, onion, basil, and spinach with the mixture of yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper, then savor!

Note: Choose your preferred type of cooked chicken! Rotisserie chicken works great! I typically poach 2 pounds of chicken breasts in water, allow them to cool, then slice or shred.
Option: Modify the flavors as you like!
Option: Incorporate 1/4 cup of grated parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese).
Option: Add 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped artichoke hearts.
Option: Use any mix of yogurt, mayo, sour cream, cottage cheese, ricotta, etc.
Option: Enjoy on toast, as part of a sandwich, in a wrap, or as a side dish, or dip, etc.
