- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook the Chicken: Bring a pot of water to a boil, then boil the chicken for 10-14 minutes. Alternatively, use an Instant Pot, slow cooker, or rotisserie chicken.
- Prepare Ingredients: While the chicken cooks, chop the parsley and celery.
- Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken into small pieces.
- Mix Everything: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, chopped ingredients, garlic powder, Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, and blue cheese (if using).
- Toss & Serve: Mix well with a spatula until evenly coated. Enjoy on a sandwich, in a wrap, or over a salad.
NOTES
- Sodium Consideration: Buffalo sauce is high in sodium; opt for a low-sodium version if needed.
- Substitutions:
- Swap chicken for tuna if desired.
- Use any percentage of Greek yogurt (1%, 2%, or 5%). Dairy-free yogurt may also work.
- Leftover grilled chicken is a great alternative.
- Replace celery with scallions, onions, or bell peppers if preferred.
