Ingredients

3 cups cooked chicken chopped
1 cup red grapes halved
2 stalks celery
2 stalks green onion
1/2 cup almonds, sliced or cashews halved
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 medium lemon juiced
1 teaspoon mustard, dijon
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

Chop cooked chicken and place into a mixing bowl. Slice grapes into quarters or halves; dice celery and green onions. Add to the bowl with chicken.
In a small mixing bowl, mix yogurt, juice of the lemon, mustard, parsley, salt and pepper. Add to the chicken. Toss to evenly coat.
In a small saute pan, add sliced almonds and heat over medium high. Cook them while constantly stirring until they are a toasty brown. Once they start to brown just a little bit, turn the heat to medium. Make sure to watch them close because they can burn easily! Let them cool just a bit and then add them to the chicken mixture.
Let the chicken mixture chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Serve on croissants, sandwich rolls, turn it into a wrap, or eat as a dip with your favorite crackers or tortilla chips. Enjoy!
