Very nice. I also use nonfat greek yogurt, but I never thought about adding apples. I will try that, but I will leave the cinnamon out. That spice is not allowed in my house.

Apples and grapes are both wonderful in chicken salad. Heck, even pears and peaches! They compliment the chicken quite well.

And cinnamon is a staple of curry!! *gasp!*

I have a "reaction" to cinnamon. The smell itself makes me puke (big problem around the Holidays) and I may also have a mild allergy because if I eat anything with that spice my tongue starts itching. I use curry but in small amount; too strong flavor for my taste.

And yes, I have used grapes in the past but I will try other fruits too. Nice idea, and thank you for the suggestion.

Not only did you win me over, but I am currently making it RIGHT NOW! The chicken is cooking then I'm going to shred it, let it cool, and get to the rest.

Ok, just made it.

I seared the chicken on both sides in a skillet to get a nice browning, then finished in the oven for 20 minutes at 350F.



While the chicken was cooling, I diced up a Red Delicious apple and soaked it in a water and lemon juice mixture for about 15 minutes. I prefer doing honey/water, but I'm about out of honey.




While that was soaking, I took the chicken and sliced it, cubed it, then put it in a large mixing bowl.




Then I added in the diced apple and raisins to the mixing bowl. Then mixed in the greek yogurt.




Then added in my spices. I added paprika and chipotle powder for a bit of a smokey flavor as well as a bit more heat.




Then I grilled a pita bread for a few minutes to warm it up, sliced it in half, and stuffed it with the chicken salad and a bit of spinach.




I love Indian food, so I was a big fan of this.

Ingredient List:

Raw Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (740g)
Red Delicious Apple (183g)
Raisins (80g)
Chobani Greek Yogurt Vanilla Flavored (227g)
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Paprika
Chipotle Powder
Cayenne Pepper
Black Ground Pepper
Curry Powder

I'm estimating 10 servings and around 145 Calories per serving of the chicken salad itself.
