I was compensated by Tyson Foods to produce this post.
Can you believe it’s Memorial Day already?! I’m sure I sound like a broken record… but where did the time go?!
Even though Memorial Day is the “unofficial start to Summer,” there is still time to jump into action with the Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Countdown to a Better You Program. Now through June 21st (the official start to Summer) you can earn points for every Tyson® Grilled & Ready® product UPC code you redeem.
Let me break it down for ya – You buy the delicious products, you eat said delicious products, you get free stuff. Everyone’s happy.
To help get you on your way, Tyson Foods, makers of Tyson® Grilled & Ready® products is going to give one lucky I Wash You Dry reader a 6 month’s supply of their fantabulous products!! {keep reading to get to the giveaway}
My favorite Grilled & Ready® product is their fully cooked chicken breast strips. I use them all the time. I love the convenience of having fully cooked chicken breast at my disposal whenever the need arises. It’s easy to make healthy choices when the good stuff is right in front of you.
When I was younger I hated Chicken Salad. I’m sure it had something to do with the way it was presented to me. Canned chicken, loads of mayo, and… well, that should pretty much sum up why I hated it. I have a serious dislike for canned chicken. Sorry, but it screams “cat food” to me. And let’s be honest, how can anything with a shelf life of nearly 5 years really taste that fresh?
Nowadays I make my Chicken Salad with freshly shredded chicken breast, but when I’m in a hurry and don’t want to bother with boiling or roasting chicken I reach for a bag of Tyson® Grilled & Ready® fully cooked chicken breast strips. I skip the mayo and opt for some rich and creamy plain Greek yogurt. This time to boost the creamy factor (without adding any guilt) I added some mashed up avocado to the mix.
This Avocado and Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Sandwich is cool, creamy, bright and fun. Not to mention a healthier alternative to the classic mayo filled version. Perfect for keeping you on track to a happier, healthier, better you.
Now who wants to win a Six Month’s Supply of Tyson® Grilled & Ready® products??

My fun summer plans include eating my weight in this sandwich. Avocado chicken salad sounds TO DIEEEE for. And healthy, which is good since I am nowhere near bikini ready. Blame the cookies for that.
