Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive-oil cooking spray
  • 1 pound 2 small whole breasts boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3/4 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped tarragon optional
  • 1 Granny Smith apple
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 cup finely diced fennel
  • 1/2 cup finely diced celery
  • 2 cups red seedless grapes cut in half
  • Fiber Rich Crackers or other bread/crackers

Instructions

  • Combine salt and pepper in a bowl. Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with some of the salt mixture; place in pan. Reduce heat to medium; cover. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes (flip halfway through cooking time). Remove from pan; set aside. Note: can also grill chicken on an outdoor grill, same procedure applies.
  • In a bowl, combine yogurt, mustard, chives, tarragon, and remaining salt mixture. Core the apple, and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Place in a medium bowl with lemon juice, and toss to combine. Add fennel, celery, and grapes. Cut reserved chicken into 1/2-inch pieces. Add to salad with yogurt dressing; stir to combine.
  • Serve on crackers or toast.
