Ingredients

Whipped Feta Yogurt Dressing

  • 1 cup plain, whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (from a block of feta cheese in brine)
  • 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper

Chicken Salad

  • 3 1/2 – 4 cups shredded or diced chicken breast (from rotisserie, canned, or baked/boiled chicken breast)
  • 1 cup diced seedless cucumber (such as Persian or English cucumber)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion

Instructions

  1. Prepare Whipped Feta Yogurt. Add the Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper to a food processor. Blend on high speed for about 60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set this whipped feta yogurt dressing aside.
  2. Assemble Chicken Salad. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken breast, diced cucumbers, roughly chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped Kalamata olives, finely chopped fresh dill, and minced red onion. Add the prepared whipped feta yogurt dressing to the bowl and stir everything well to combine. Taste the salad and season with additional salt and/or black pepper if needed.
  3. Serve and Store. Serve the Greek chicken salad with pita bread or pita chips, in a sandwich or wrap, or over a bed of fresh greens. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

  • Use any cooked chicken breast you have on hand—rotisserie, canned, or baked.
  • The dressing can be made ahead and refrigerated for ease of assembly.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to your taste preference.
  • Serve chilled for best flavor and texture.
  • Perfect for meal prep as it keeps well for up to 4 days in the fridge.
