  1. Can you use canned chicken for this recipe?

    1. I never have Aila, but I don’t see why not 🙂

  2. I used canned chicken and it worked out great! Love this recipe! Soooooo good! 🙂

  3. How many servings are in this recipe?

    1. Opps, just kidding! Found it 🙂

  4. Yum! We usually do ours with grapes, but dried cranberries would be great!

  5. Bethany Copley says:

    I am just curious…why add the mayo to it? is it necessary for flavor or to give it oomph?

    1. Bethany, I find that it takes some of the “zing” out of the Greek Yogurt.

  6. I use Oikos Vegetable and Herb dip and it adds the perfect taste to my chicken salad.

  7. Made the recipe with canned chicken very good. I did tell the wife it was made with Greek yoguart and she really liked it.

  8. What is the suggested serving size? 1/2 cup?

  9. Hi, Corey!
    I made this with (unfortunately) slightly “overcooked” Instant Pot white meat chicken. I didn’t have mayo, so I used low fat Ranch Dressing instead. I increased the yogurt by a quarter cup to assist with lessening the dry effect of the slightly overcooked chicken. Chopping the chicken, and then mixing it with the yogurt and ranch dressing, definitely softened the chicken completely! With the addition of the raisins, it took this chicken salad to the next level. My husband loved it! Also didn’t include celery, because I didn’t have any! Didn’t miss it. Thank you, Corey, for a delicious recipe!

    1. So happy you loved it Denise 🙂
