Ingredients
- ▢1 box (6 ounces) wild rice blend (I like either Uncle Ben’s original or Far East brands)
- ▢3 cups cooked chicken and shredded chicken (I used Costco rotisserie chicken)
- ▢1 cup green grapes, cut into halves or quarters
- ▢1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- ▢1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- ▢1/4 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
- ▢Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Cook the wild rice according to package directions, just until the rice is barely tender.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked rice, shredded chicken, grapes, almonds, mayonnaise and Greek yogurt together until well blended.
Season generously with salt and pepper, adjusting ingredients to taste.
If you use a fresh rotisserie chicken and just cooked rice, the dish will be ready to serve warm, or you can chill it first if desired.

Variations:
- Vegetarian: substitute chickpeas or baked cubed tofu for the chicken.
- Different Meat: chopped turkey would work, as would chopped cooked pork or cooked chicken. It doesn’t have to be the rotisserie kind. Chopped shrimp would work here too.
- Different Herbs and Spices: tarragon, curry powder, etc.
- Different Fruit: golden raisins, cranberries, dried cherries, etc.
- Different Nuts: walnuts, pecans, etc.
- More Crunch: chopped celery, chopped water chestnuts, etc.
- Savory: skip the grapes and instead add chopped red bell pepper, scallions and artichoke hearts, etc.
