Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 cup red grapes, halved
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  6. Serve in bowls or lettuce wraps; top with nuts if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize by adding diced apples for sweetness or replacing Greek yogurt with avocado for extra creaminess.
  • For meal prep, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
