Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Stove Top
  • Mixer optional
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients
  

Salad Base:
  • 4 cups boneless skinless chicken breast cooked and shredded
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni diced
  • 2/3 cup salami diced
  • 1 cup provolone cheese shredded
  • 1.5 cups celery diced
  • 1 cup banana peppers chopped, or use pepperoncini peppers
  • 2/3 cup red onion diced
Zesty Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup light mayo
  • 1/4 cup juice from jarred banana peppers
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place your chicken breasts into a large saucepan or stock pot and pour in enough water to cover the chicken by about one inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the chicken thoroughly until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and transfer it directly into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Run the mixer on low speed for 35 to 45 seconds to quickly shred the chicken into a medium-fine consistency. Set the shredded chicken aside or place it in the refrigerator to cool down completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pepperoni, diced salami, shredded provolone cheese, diced celery, chopped pepperoncini peppers, and diced red onion.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, light mayo, banana pepper juice, red wine vinegar, honey, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until completely smooth.
  • Add the cooled shredded chicken directly into the large bowl with your chopped meats and vegetables.
  • Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and use a large spoon or spatula to stir and toss everything together until the ingredients are fully integrated and evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately with bread, crackers, or lettuce wraps, or cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for meal prep throughout the week.
