Instructions
- 1Cook the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium-high heat for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let cool for 5 minutes, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
- 2Dice the celery into small pieces, slice the green onions into thin rounds, halve the red grapes, and roughly chop the almonds.
- 3In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, grapes, celery, green onions, and almonds.
- 4In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, skim milk, honey, and fresh dill until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- 5Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken and vegetables, then toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
- 6Divide evenly into 6 airtight containers while the salad is still cool. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, or overnight for best flavor.
