Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Freezing: Freezing is not recommended because the yogurt and mayonnaise dressing can separate after thawing.
Best Tips: Mix the dressing before adding the chicken so the honey and mustard blend evenly.
Variations: Add celery, grapes, herbs, almonds, or sunflower seeds for crunch and freshness.
Meal Prep: Keep bread, wraps, crackers, and lettuce separate until serving to protect their texture.
Serving Ideas: Serve chilled in sandwiches, lettuce cups, pita pockets, lunch bowls, or with sliced vegetables.
