Name: HEALTHY CHICKEN SALAD
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Yield: 4 people
Ingredients: 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper; 2 Small chicken breasts; 3/4 Cup yogurt (plain, Greek); 1 Tbsp dijon mustard; 2 Tbsp chives (finely chopped); 1 Tbsp tarragon (finely chopped); 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1 granny smith apple; 2 Tbsp lemon juice (fresh); 1 Cup fennel bulb (finely chopped); 1/2 Cup celery (finely diced); 2 Cups grapes (red seedless, cut in half); 1 Cup watercress; 4 Slices Ezekiel bread (or other sprouted bread, or fermented sourdough, or feel free to use lettuce wraps too)

There's so much nutrition in this fresh take on chicken salad. We have protein packed chicken, then even more protein with the Greek yogurt (and a probiotic boost to boot! You don't get that from classic mayo!). We've also added in a wonderful and easy spice mix for that yogurt dressing and added a bit of sweetness from some halved grapes. We suggest topping this over some sprouted bed and adding in calcium rich, cancer fighting, mood and immune boosting watercress on top. Food is indeed medicine with this recipe.

YOGURT DRESSING

In a bowl, combine yogurt, mustard, chives, tarragon, salt, and pepper.

SALAD

Core the apple, and cut into 1/4-inch diced pieces. Place in a medium bowl with lemon juice, and toss to combine. Add remaining salad ingredients: fennel, celery, and grapes.

ASSEMBLY

Cut the cooked chicken into 1/2-inch pieces. Add to salad. Pour in yogurt dressing and stir to combine.
Serve on Ezekiel bread, open-faced, with watercress on top.
