1. Gather your cooked chicken and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add the finely chopped celery and halved grapes, then gently stir to combine.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.

3. Add a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to the mixture and gently stir to ensure even distribution of flavors.

4. If desired, incorporate additional ingredients like chopped green onions or slivered almonds.

5. Refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

6. Serve on bread, crackers, or atop a bed of crisp lettuce.

For the best flavor, use tender, juicy chicken breasts or thighs.

You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise for a lighter option.

This dish can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
