Ingredients

  • Cooked Chicken: 2 cups (shredded or diced) – Tender, juicy chicken serves as the main protein base.

  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked chicken, Greek yogurt, curry powder, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: If you’re toasting almonds, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
