4 servings
- 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup full-fat plain greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 15–18 minutes, until the thickest part of each breast registers 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer.

Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.
