Ingredients
- 3 large cooked chicken breasts *see note for cooking method
- 1 cup celery diced small
- 6 slices turkey bacon cooked
- 5 green onions diced.
- ¾ cup greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon parsley

Instructions
- Shred chicken by blending in a food processor for 5-10 seconds. This gives the chicken the best texture. Alternatively, shred very finely by hand.
- Meanwhile, chop up celery, green onions, and bacon and add to a large bowl. Pour in shredded chicken and toss.
- In a small bowl, mix together greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice and all spices. Then add water. Whisk until well combined.
- Add ranch into chicken mixture and stir until well combined. Enjoy!
- Serve with crackers, on bread, with veggies.
Notes
For the chicken, I like to bake at 400 for 22-24 minutes or until 160F internal.
