AVOCADO CHICKEN SALAD

Avocado Chicken Salad is easy to make and you will never want to make your chicken salad without avocado again!  Perfect on a sandwich, croissant or served with tortilla chips!

HOW DO YOU MAKE AVOCADO CHICKEN SALAD?

• Start by using 2 cups of cooked and diced chicken.  Rotisserie Chicken or even canned chicken works great.
• Add in diced avocado, mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt and pepper.  Mix together.
• Use it to make a sandwich, or serve with tortilla chips.

WHAT CAN I SUBSTITUTE MAYONNAISE WITH?

• Greek Yogurt
• Hummus
• Pesto
• Nut Butter

TIPS FOR PICKING OUT THE PERFECT AVOCADOS:

• Squeeze the avocado.  Hold it in the palm of your hand and gently squeeze.  A ripe avocado should yield to firm, gentle pressure, but shouldn't feel overly soft or mushy.
• You can also check under the stem.  Peel back the small stem or cap at the top of the avocado.  If it comes away easily, and you find green underneath, it is ripe and ready to go.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (about 3 chicken breasts)
• 1 teaspoon freshly chopped cilantro
• 1 large avocado diced
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 2 tsp lime juice
• ½ teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a medium sized mixing bowl, add chicken, mayonnaise, cilantro, avocado, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix until combined.
2. Serve in a sandwich or croissant or with tortilla chips.
