Do you remember how I told you that I just didn’t care for Tuna Salad? Well, I have a confession. Chicken salad is a whole other story. I love Chicken Salad and could probably eat it every day of the week. I love the kind that is made with grapes and almonds. The kind that is sweet and savory at the same time. Of course, I have realized that this kind of Chicken Salad, may not be so good to indulge every day of the week. So I have been experimenting with Greek Yogurt instead of Mayo. I am so excited that my experimenting has paid off. I have found a Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad that may taste as good, if not better than the original.
My Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad is made with some of my favorite things. Pear Greek Yogurt, sun-dried Tomatoes, Greek Onions, Sea Salt and oh my… Pine Nuts! It is out of this world. Sweet, Salty and Crunchy. And if this wasn’t enough, I nestled the Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad in the middle of toasty Greek Pita Bread. If you have never tried Greek Pita Bread, you must! It is nothing like the traditional Pita Bread. It is just the perfect match for the Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked Chicken Breast, shredded
- 1 6 ounce Pear Greek Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Sundried Tomato, finely diced
- 2 Green Onions, diced
- 2 tablespoons Pine Nuts
- Sea Salt to taste
Instructions
- Mix the Chicken Breast and Greek Yogurt in bowl
- Add the Sundried Tomatoes and Green Onions
- Sprinkle with Pine Nuts and Sea Salt
- Serve with Greek Pita Bread, Whole Wheat Bread, Crackers, Veggie Sticks or on top of a garden salad

Wow! This looks fabulous Isabel. Definitely going to give it a try!
Thanks so much Martin! Let me know what you think.
I am intrigued that you used a pear yogurt instead of plain. That never would have occurred to me, but I’ll be it lends just the perfect amount of sweetness to your chicken salad. Yum!
The pear gave the salad an amazing fruity taste… I love the sweet and salty combo.
Now I know how I can use up my sun dried tomatoes in a delicious way. Don’t know why this fellow chicken salad fan didn’t think of it before …I’m fascinated too by the use of pear greek yogurt.
Thank you for the recipe, Isabel!
The combo of the fruity yogurt with the sun-dried tomatoes created an amazing layer of flavors.
Oh my goodness, a whole bunch of favorites all wrapped into one – this looks fabulous. I adore chicken salad and yours looks and sounds delicious.
Thanks Nicole!
Unusual mix of ingredients, and they sound so amazing! Gorgeous salad Isabel! Have a great sunday!
Thank you Paula… I was surprised that my unusual mix actually turned out to be an amazing layered flavor effect.
I love fruit in my chicken salad, so I know I’d LOVE this! YUM!
Me too! Thanks Jen!
My husband loves chicken salad especially ones with fruit and nuts. I really need to make this for him.
Let me know how Mark likes it when you try it!
Looks delicious! I love chicken salad and I think it was a great idea to use pear greek yogurt! I love it!!
Wonderful! I love all of the ingredients that are in this salad. I need to buy pinenuts soon so that I can make this for our next family get together.
I love chicken salad too! Such a unique spin with the pear greek yogurt- can’t wait to try it!
This sounds like a yummy recipe! I have been wanting to try using Greek yogurt in place of mayo/sour cream/etc. in a recipe…the pear yogurt is such a cool idea for this chicken salad!
This looks fabulous! I love that you used Pear Greek Yogurt. I imagine that give such a nice sweet but tangy flavor to the salad. And Pine Nuts? Yum! Thanks for sharing!!
I love chicken salad, too…but I always use mayo. I’m definitely going to give greek yogurt a go next time – and love that you used pear (I love golden raisins and poppy seeds in mine)!
Oh Isabel, you have me salivating over your list of ingredients here. LOVE that you used pear yogurt (brilliant) and PINE NUTS!!! Be still my heart! I’ll bet this is a chicken salad I could eat every day too. Maybe even twice a day
Now that sounds like an amazing combination! I have seen greek yogurt as a sub for may, but it never occurred to me to use a flavored variety! Holy Cow! Pear, chicken and pine nuts…GENIUS!
ooh loving all the flavors in this salad. I have the pear yogurt that you used . What a great way to use it !! Pine nuts, sundried tomatoes .. yuuum! Can’t wait to try this as soon as I get sundried tomatoes & pine nuts.
Don’t you love when kitchen experiments work?! This sounds like my kind of salad…creamy, salty, and sweet! Beautiful! photos!
Your recipe today is a Greek-fest!
Greek yogurt in place of yogurt in chicken salad is always a winner. Love the sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts. Yum!
I am a fan of greek yogurt and eat it almost every morning for breakfast. Now, adding it to chicken salad sounds just perfect! What a great recipe
This looks so good! I love greek yogurt and it makes chicken salad so much healthier. I like that you added in the pine nuts for some crunch.
I really really need to start swapping my mayo for greek yogurt. I also love the addition of the sundried tomatoes!
That pear yogurt is so good. What a wonderful way to incorporate it into a lunch or dinner meal.
I love the pear-flavored yogurt here…what a nice subtle sweetness it must add! I too adore chicken salad and love to make mine with Greek yogurt too. It’s one of my favorite secret ingredients for lower-fat food that’s still rich and creamy!
This looks lovely Isabel. Just one of those perfect little recipes. Love the pine nuts in it.
What a great idea! I love swapping the green yogurt for mayo, great healthy way to still make a dish yummy!! I love new wrap ideas!
I adore chicken salad, too…and love the addition of pear yogurt! It’s been way to long since I’ve made a batch and your version looks scrumptious
Oooh, Chobani sent me some samples of Pear and I have a few left. I’ll have to get some chicken and try this!
Isabel, my mouth dropped open when I saw the photo of this on your Facebook this morning. Thankfully I have a tub of Greek yogurt in my fridge meaning I can make this asap!
I have never tried Greek pita bread, but your combination of bread with chicken yogurt salad look tempting.
I agree, Greek pita is the best! I love chicken salad, but I don’t really like mayo so when I make it I just use the tiniest amount to bind it all together. I will have to try with Greek yogurt.
Ooh this looks delish!I also love sweet with salty and crunchy!Never tried Greek pita and will be looking for it now
yay that’s my kind of food!! The greek yogurt is such a great choice to turn it into a super skinny dish. Isabel you always surprise me with your awesome recipes.
I thought I was the only one who did this! Yay!
What a great idea to use greek yogurt
Look at all those delicious flavours! Would have never thought to use Greek yogurt. This salad looks great!
Looks delicious and so simple too! Love that you are using Greek yogurt!
Love that you added pear greek yogurt, pine nuts and sun dried tomatoes to your chicken salad. I need to try this combo asap!
This looks just fantastic, Isabel!! I love the pear greek yogurt in this – it would be perfect. Pinning this to make. My husband would love it too.
I too love chicken salad, and what a great idea to add sundried tomatoes. Yum!
