Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad


Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad : Not always! You must fry them if you want the traditional donut flavor and texture—crisp on the outside and fluffy inside.

However, I baked small portions of the dough for these chai vanilla donuts in mini muffin tins, and the result was delightfully baked donut holes. Therefore, the texture that you like is entirely up to you.

Notes

  • A Note on the Calorie Information Below: The nutrition values listed below do not include any of the additional toppings listed in the recipe.

 

  • What if I want to cook my own chicken? You can also roast 2 or 3 split chicken breasts and use them in this salad. If you need a foolproof recipe, be sure to try my oven-baked bone-in chicken breast recipe.

 

  • How Long Does Chicken Salad Last in the Fridge? It should last in the fridge for 3–5 days if stored properly in an airtight container.

 

  • Is chicken salad freezer-friendly? Is it secure?I’m still experimenting in my kitchen with this intriguing task. I’ve come across several publications that claim chicken salad may be frozen without compromising its quality. I am aware that Greek yogurt has a propensity to separate in the freezer, though, having done some research and frozen some in my own freezer.

 

  • If left out on the counter for longer than two hours, there’s also the additional risk of bacterial growth. Therefore, I believe that the optimum time to have this chicken salad is the same week that it is prepared.
