Light Creamy Chinese Chicken Salad is a quick and simple lunch recipe made with Greek yogurt for a healthy meal you will love! #Light #Lunch #Healthy #ChickenSalad #Chinese

Light Creamy Chinese Chicken Salad is a quick and simple lunch recipe made with Greek yogurt and loaded with veggies for a healthy meal you will love! This is one of those meals you can whip up on the weekend and have fresh and flavorful lunches for the entire week. Just top it with some crunchy Chow Mein noodles and almonds and you are ready to enjoy this flavorful and healthy chicken salad with a Chinese twist.

Growing up, there weren’t many of my mom’s dinners that I loved. That isn’t to say she isn’t a great cook, because she it, but she cooked meat and potatoes “farm food” for the most part. That has just never been my thing. I was considered the picky eater growing up because of this. One meal I do remember being excited about was Chicken Chow Mein.

There wasn’t much cooking going on there, because it was the stuff out of the can. Now looking back, I kind of can’t believe I liked that stuff. That goey mess isn’t exactly my favorite anymore, but there is one thing about any Chow Mein that I will always love, and that is the crispy noodles!

This healthy chicken salad is filled with carrots, Edamame, green onions and sugar snap peas, mixed with a creamy chinese spiced Greek yogurt and topped with crunchy almonds and Chow Mein noodles. It is the perfect grown-up twist on the nostalgic Chow Mein we enjoyed as kids!

    We totally ate Chicken Chow Mein out of the can all the time to and loved it! I agree that the chow mein noodles are the best part. This looks delicious!
