Preparation
- Step 1
Prepare and heat grill or grill pan on medium-high. Pound or slice the chicken breasts horizontally to a ½-inch thickness. Rub the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside on a cutting board to cool.
- Step 2
While the chicken is cooling, make the rest of the salad: In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, everything bagel seasoning, coriander, turmeric, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Add the celery, onion and cilantro, and stir to combine.
- Step 3
When the chicken is cool, cut it into ½-inch pieces, then combine it with the dressing in the bowl. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve, garnishing with cilantro. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

If you add chopped avocado, you end up with a delicious twist on Reina Pepiada, a Venezuelan filling for arepas. The avocado ends up being mashed when mixing it in, which adds creaminess, so you can cut the mayo/yogurt. I would also suggest substituting garlic powder for the turmeric, for a more Latin flavor profile.
Delicious! I prepared as written and then tweaked to add more red onion, turmeric and coriander, a three in big handful of golden raisins.
I followed the recipe exactly except used non fat yogurt and it was delicious!
So good! I did cook the chicken on the stovetop with a little liquid smoke (not sure enough to make a difference). I had 1.3 pounds of chicken, didn’t change any other measurements and I thought it was plenty saucy. Really, really delicious!!
I added lemon zest since I once worked for a chef who insisted chicken salad wasn't chicken salad without it. I think he was right
So good! made exactly as it was written and it was so flavorful. Loved the idea to use grilled chicken which made it such an easy but interesting summer meal.
