Preparation

Let the cooked chicken cool completely, then cut it into 1 cm pieces. Wash or peel the celery, apple and onion, then dice them very finely. Cut the apple just before mixing so it does not brown.
Whisk the mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper smooth in a large bowl. Stir in the parsley.
Add the chicken, celery, apple and onion to the dressing. Fold gently with a spatula until everything is just coated. Do not stir vigorously, so the chicken pieces stay moist.
Cover and chill for at least 20 minutes. Taste again before serving. Pat the lettuce leaves dry and spoon the chicken salad onto them. Keep leftovers refrigerated and use within 2 days.
