High-Protein Chicken & Pineapple Salad
Method
If using canned pineapple or mushrooms, drain them thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Dice the pineapple into bite-sized pieces and slice the mushrooms if necessary.
Cut the smoked chicken breast into small cubes and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Add the pineapple, mushrooms, and reduced-fat shredded cheese to the bowl with the chicken.
Spoon in the Greek yogurt and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Gently fold all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. For extra flavor, stir a small clove of finely minced garlic or a pinch of garlic powder into the yogurt before mixing.
Serve immediately, or chill the salad for 20–30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend before serving.
For the best texture, pat the pineapple and mushrooms dry with paper towels before combining them with the other ingredients. This prevents the dressing from becoming watery. The sweet pineapple pairs beautifully with the smoky chicken, creating a refreshing, protein-rich salad that's perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep.
