Chicken Salad with Lemon-Yogurt Dressing Recipe
Chicken Salad with Lemon-Yogurt Dressing Recipe-February 2024
Feb 12, 2026 4:28 PM

  GOOD TO KNOW Here a low-fat, yogurt-based chicken salad is served over lightly dressed mixed greens; it would also make a light—and packable—lunch when used as a sandwich filling, between slices of whole-wheat bread.

  

Ingredients

serves 4

  1 1/2 teaspoons dried tarragon

  2 teaspoons grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  Coarse salt and ground pepper

  4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves (12 to 14 ounces each)

  1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt

  1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil

  3 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped

  4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

  6 ounces mesclun (about 6 cups)

  

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Rub tarragon, 1 teaspoon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper under skin of chicken. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet; roast until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

  

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, 2 teaspoons oil, remaining 1 teaspoon zest, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice; season with salt.

  

Step 3

When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove and discard skin and bones; thinly slice meat lengthwise. Add to bowl along with tomatoes and scallions; toss to combine.

  

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice and 1 tablespoon oil. Add mesclun; toss to coat. Divide among four plates and top with chicken salad.
