Directions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and slice it into thin pieces by holding the breast steady and halving it parallel to the board.
- Put the chicken in a medium saucepan and cover with about 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
- While the chicken cooks, rinse and dry the apples, celery, grapes, and greens; halve the lemons to prepare for the dressings.
- Simmer the chicken until it is cooked through, about 8–10 minutes; transfer to a plate to cool for about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk half of a lemon’s juice with yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon, salt, and pepper to form a creamy dressing.
- Dice the apples and celery and fold them into the dressing; add the halved grapes and chopped walnuts and mix gently.
- When the chicken has cooled, shred it with two forks and fold into the dressing-coated mixture until well combined.
- Cut pitas in half and carefully open the pockets; fill each half with the chicken salad and scatter the greens with the remaining grapes on the side for serving.
Two tips
- Prep the dressing and fruit mixture while the chicken cooks so everything finishes together.
- Serve with the greens and extra grapes as a side or snack for leftovers.
