Instructions

  1. In a stainless steel pot, cook chicken breasts until done, for roughly 15-20 minutes or until all juices are absorbed. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Once cooked, set aside to cool.

Recipe Notes

  • You may notice the next day that there is some liquid that’s drained from the mixture. This is the whey liquid from the yogurt. Simply drain the excess liquid and enjoy the salad.
