Equipment

Ingredients

18 oz. boneless skinless chicken breast or 14 oz. cooked
3 hard boiled eggs diced
5 tablespoons light mayonnaise 75g
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese 110g
1/2 cup celery diced (100g)
1 cup dill pickles diced (150g)
4 green onions diced (35g)
1 tablespoon fresh dill minced
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon pickle juice
½ teaspoon salt
pepper to taste

Instructions

Place chicken breasts in the Instant Pot with 1/2 cup of water. Set to manual pressure high for 10 minutes. Quick or natural release when finished.
Let cool completely and dice up to desired size.
Place all ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. Combine well. Divide evenly into 5 containers (about 200g each). Keep refrigerated.
Enjoy cold with crackers, on a rice cake, pita, or with bread as a sandwich.

Notes

Let your chicken cool completely before mixing—this keeps the texture creamy and prevents the dressing from getting watery.
