Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad

I tried a garlic lime grilled chicken which sounded perfect, but turned out to be dry, and pretty boring.  I had quite a bit left over, so I looked for a chicken salad recipe to revive it.  This was amazing.  We made some open face sandwiches, and had some without any bread.  I hadn't thought about using Greek yogurt instead of mayo, but it was delicious.  I also didn't have dried cranberries, but the apples and grapes were enough sweetness. I also added celery.  You can find the recipe here:  http://damndelicious.net   (She's a cute food blogger.)
