Lightly coat them with the olive oil, then season evenly on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.Cook to Perfection: Bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. (Tip: To keep it strictly zero-points, you can also poach/boil the chicken with aromatics instead of using oil).Shred It up: Let the chicken cool slightly, then use two forks to shred it into fine pieces (or dice it very finely) to get that perfect meal-prep texture.Mix the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and dill until smooth and creamy. Stir in the diced celery and green onions.Combine: Add the shredded chicken to the dressing and toss until everything is beautifully coated and creamy. Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed.Prep & Chill: Divide the salad into airtight meal-prep containers and store them in the fridge. Let it chill for at least 2 hours before serving so the flavors meld together perfectly. Stays fresh for up to 3–4 days!
