Ingredients

    1 lb. of lean chicken breast (I used Perdue Fit & Easy Breast Tenderloin)

    3/4 c. Nonfat plain Greek yogurt

    1 celery stalk, diced

    1/2 c. of seedless grapes, sliced

    1 apple, cored and diced

    1.5 oz (a small box) of raisins

    1/4 c. of walnuts

Directions

Grill all of the chicken breasts in a 1-lb. package until cooked thoroughly (I used a George Foreman grill with the tenderloins, which cooked in 6-7 minutes.)

While chicken is cooking, cut up vegetables and fruit:

Dice the celery stalk.
Slice grapes in half (or fourths).
Core apple and dice into bite-sized chunks.

Put fruits, vegetables, and nuts into a large mixing bowl.

After chicken is cooked throughout and has cooled, add to large mixing bowl.

Finally, add Greek yogurt and stir until all of the contents are coated.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Refrigerate any unused portions.
