Ingredients in this WW Chicken Salad
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Chicken: For this WW chicken salad, I prefer to make rotisserie chicken at home or this crockpot whole chicken. You can also get store bought rotisserie chicken, or bake chicken breasts in the oven.
- Grapes: Red or green grapes both work great in this recipe — or use a mix for extra color!
- Apples: I like to use a firmer apple, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, as they tend to hold their shape better than other, softer varieties.
- Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt packs twice as much protein and about half the amount of carbs and sugar as regular yogurt. Plain, non-fat Greek yogurt is best for this recipe.
How to make this WW Chicken Salad

Recipe Tips
- You can omit the fruit (grapes or apples) or nuts to reduce carbs, calories or points, though you will lose some texture and sweetness.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. I like to press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the salad to minimize air exposure and reduce browning of the apple pieces.
- Since fat-free, low-fat, and whole milk yogurt all have different WW points, make sure to calculate based on the exact ingredients you’re using.
WW Chicken Salad FAQs
I use the online recipe creator feature at Weight Watchers Online. It’s a great resource for making sure you have the most accurate calculations! For the most accurate counts, use your exact ingredients and brands, not the nutrition info from recipes. Adding any ingredients to this recipe is going to add extra points, so be sure to recalculate.
This recipe uses a combination of olive oil mayo and plain, fat-free Greek yogurt to reduce the fat and calories you’d get from using only mayonnaise. If you choose to use regular mayo or full-fat yogurt, the fat content will increase slightly, though the saturated fat will still remain relatively low. If you’re using light mayonnaise instead, be sure to recalculate the points in the WW app to keep your tracking accurate.
Using the grapes and apples adds sweetness that can cut out cravings later in the day, but dried cranberries or any other dried fruit work as well. Removing the fruit from this recipe will reduce the carbs quite a bit, if that is a concern of yours.

Weight Watchers Points
When made with fat-free yogurt, olive oil mayo, and boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each serving comes out to 3 Points on the 2025 WW Plan.
If you change this recipe at all, you’ll need to recalculate the points for yourself to make sure they’re accurate.

I joined weight watchers online .. what plan am I on ? How do plans differ ?
Hi Terri!
If you just joined you’ll want to look for our points labeled 2023 plan points. Weight Watchers didn’t name their new point plan so we’ve coined that term :)
The other plans you’ll notice (blue, green, purple) are old plans that some of our readers may still be following.
I hope that helps!
On purple plan it says 5 points. What if I didnt add the pecans?
I’d recalculate the points with the exact ingredients you used.
