Instructions

Step one

Step 1

Dice onions and celery, very small. Set aside on a large bowl. Add the other half of the onion and the ends of the celery to a pot.

Step two

Step 2

Add 1 medium sized chicken breast to the pot with the celery and onion. Top with water and boil until chicken reaches 165°. Set aside to cool. You may optionally add seasonings to this to create a yummy broth. For this recipe, I like to add Italian seasonings and 1 low-sodium chicken bouillon cube.

Step 3

Quarter washed grapes and chop the pecans. Add to the veggie mix in step one. Place bowl in the fridge until chicken is ready to shred.

Step four

Notes

Step 8

Will keep well for 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container. Greek yogurt tends to separate, so make sure to stir the salad well before serving each time.
