Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ¼ pounds or 3 small/medium breasts, ½-inch-diced)

• 3 green onions (thinly sliced (about ½ cup))
• 1 medium carrot (shredded (about ½ cup))
• 1 medium orange or yellow bell pepper (finely chopped (about 1 cup))
• ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup Buffalo sauce (such as Frank's)
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• Crumbled blue cheese or feta (optional)
• Whole-grain bread
• Croissants
• Romaine or butter lettuce leaves

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, celery, green onions, shredded carrot, and chopped red bell pepper.
