Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the chicken by roasting or boiling until cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Shred it and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into julienne strips and finely dice the celery and red onion. Add them to the mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, basil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the chicken and veggies, and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately, or chill for 10 minutes for flavors to meld. Enjoy on crackers, in sandwiches, or over greens.
