  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1.5 cups blueberries
  • 1 cups celery, diced
  • .5 red onion, diced

  • .25 cups toasted pistachios
  • .5 cups mayo
  • .5 cups Greek yogurt

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
