Cook chicken by grilling, roasting, or pan frying. Allow chicken to cool, then cut into half-inch cubes. You can cook the chicken ahead and refrigerate it up to three days before serving.
Cut apples in quarters, remove core, and cut into half-inch cubes.
Add the yogurt, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to a medium mixing bowl. Stir or whisk until combined.
Add the apples, celery, chicken, and raisins to the bowl and gently stir them into the yogurt mixture until they are well-coated.
Arrange lettuce on serving plates and top with mixture from bowl to serve.
Prepare Ahead: If you plan a meal with chicken, cook some extra and refrigerate it up to three days to use later in this salad.
