Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar (or lime juice), and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Combine the salad: Add the cooked shredded chicken, diced red bell pepper, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro (if using) to the bowl with the dressing. Stir all ingredients thoroughly until the chicken and veggies are evenly coated with the dressing.
  3. Season to taste: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning according to your preference.
  4. Chill to meld flavors: Cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least 15 to 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and enhance the taste.
  5. Serve: Serve the Sweet Chili Chicken Salad chilled, either in crisp lettuce cups, over a bed of rice, or wrapped inside a tortilla. Drizzle with extra sweet chili sauce if desired for an additional flavor boost.

Notes

  • This salad is great for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a spicier kick, add some red chili flakes or sriracha to the dressing.
  • To keep it low carb, serve the salad in lettuce cups instead of tortillas or rice.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
  • Add crunch with chopped peanuts or cashews if desired.
