3.8 from 3 reviews

A fresh and creamy Spinach Artichoke Chicken Salad that combines tender shredded chicken with tangy artichoke hearts, baby spinach, and a flavorful Greek yogurt-based dressing. Perfect as a quick, protein-packed main dish or versatile enough to enjoy in wraps, sandwiches, or with chips.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Dressing

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, or extra Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or 1½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salad

  • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 14 ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped small
  • 2 cups baby spinach, finely chopped after measuring
  • 3 green onions, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are smoothly blended.
  2. Add the main ingredients: To the bowl with the dressing, add the cooked shredded chicken, chopped artichoke hearts, finely chopped baby spinach, sliced green onions, and shredded Parmesan cheese.
  3. Mix and season: Toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Serve or store: Enjoy the salad immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  5. Serving suggestions: This salad is delicious on its own, or served atop mixed greens, inside pita pockets, wraps, sandwiches, or scoop it up with your favorite chips for a flavorful snack.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken is a convenient shortcut to save time but cooking and shredding your own chicken breast is equally great.
  • The salad can be made a few hours in advance to allow flavors to meld.
  • You can substitute mayonnaise with more Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier dressing.
  • Adjust the lemon juice or vinegar according to your preferred acidity level.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and keep refrigerated; consume within 4 days for best quality.
