Ingredients
Scale
- 3 slices bacon, chopped (about ½ cup)
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
- ½ teaspoon salt, divided
- ⅓ cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1½ tablespoons cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 medium crown broccoli, stem and florets chopped into ½-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
- ¾ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- ½ cup thinly sliced scallions
Instructions
- Cook chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat; use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel–lined plate.
- Sprinkle chicken tenders with ¼ teaspoon each pepper and salt. Return the skillet to medium heat. Cook the chicken, flipping occasionally, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 165°F, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes. Cut or shred into bite-size pieces.
- While the chicken cooks, whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, vinegar, garlic powder and the remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
- Add chopped broccoli and the cooked bacon and chopped chicken to the bowl; toss to coat.
- Add Cheddar cheese and scallions; toss to combine. Serve immediately or chill.
Notes
- You can use chicken breasts instead of tenders. Adjust cooking time as needed.
- For a lighter dressing, use all yogurt and omit the mayonnaise.
- Chopped red onion or dried cranberries make good additions for extra flavor and texture.
