Weight Watchers Zero Point Dill Pickle Chicken Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Chopped celery, red onion, or bell pepper for added crunch and flavor

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken: If you haven’t already, cook the chicken breast by boiling, baking, grilling, or using any preferred method. Once cooked, let it cool slightly, then shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Mix Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, chopped dill pickles, chopped fresh dill (or dried dill), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and the dressing is smooth.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken breast to the bowl with the dressing. If using additional vegetables like celery, red onion, or bell pepper, add them to the bowl as well. Gently toss everything together until the chicken is evenly coated with the dressing and the vegetables are distributed throughout.
  4. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chicken salad and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preferences.
  5. Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the chicken salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to chill.
  6. Enjoy: Once chilled, serve the Weight Watchers Zero Point Dill Pickle Chicken Salad cold as a delicious and satisfying meal or snack. Enjoy it on its own, as a sandwich filling, or on top of a bed of mixed greens. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
