Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.

    Add the shredded chicken breast to the bowl, followed by the chopped parsley, dill, and chives. Stir gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the chicken is well coated with the herb yogurt mixture.

            For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle paprika over the salad before serving, if desired.
