Easier to mash then to that I’m going to add three tablespoons of fresh squeezed lime juice along with a fat pinch of sea salt if you love garlic I also recommend adding one clove of crushed garlic here but I forgot to do that myself now using

The back of my Fork I’m just going to begin to mash the avocado into the side of the bowl creating an avocado Mash exactly like what you would do if you were making fresh home made guacamole in retrospect I would mash the avocado before adding the lime juice and the

Salt so maybe keep that in your back pocket when you make this recipe okay so this is looking good the avocado is broken down it’s combined really well with the salt and the lime juice so to this I’m adding 2 cups of cooked chicken breast which is equivalent to 12 oz or

340 G now I’ll usually just pick up a rotisserie chicken when I’m doing my grocery shopping it is a great head star ingredient to have on hand for a busy week and it’s a really great source of protein that’s both delicious and super convenient what I recommend you do is

Take the meat off of the bone as soon as you get it home from the grocery store while it’s still hot because it’s really easy to work with this way I’ve also been experimenting with a very simple and flavorable shredded chicken recipe that I make right in my slow cooker if

Little bit of diced bell pepper now I love to buy these little baby bell peppers because they come in a lot of different colors and it makes the salad really fun and playful and beautiful but you could also use a large bell pepper or if you like a little bit of kick a

Little bit of heat you could use a jalapeno pepper then to finish it off I’m going to add a few tablespoons of freshly chopped salom cilantro which adds a really bright fresh flavor I know some people hate cilantro people tend to love or hate it if you don’t like it you

Could Sub in some fresh parsley that would be equally as delicious I’ll give it a little more salt a little more pepper and then I’m going to combine this really well until I’ve got all of the chicken coated in that avocado mash and all of the veggies worked in

  1. If you love chicken salad, this avocado chicken salad is a must-make. It uses creamy, dreamy avocado instead of yogurt or mayo and is so delicious. I am excited for you to give this one a try. Enjoy it, my friends! XO – Dani

  2. How far ahead of serving can this be made? Guess I’m asking if the avocado will brown badly if made 3-4 hours ahead. Thanks.

  3. This looks wonderful!! I think I'd sub fresh chopped spinach for the cilantro. Gonna make for sure this week.

  4. I saw a hack for whole chicken. She placed it in a gallon ziploc bag and rolled it, over and over until all the chicken was off the bone. Then it was picking out the bones but the chicken was perfectly shredded.

  5. Great recipe, Dani! So versatile, colourful and healthy. I would enjoy it just like that 😊. Greetings from Prague πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›βš˜οΈβš˜οΈβš˜οΈπŸ’―

  6. How long will this last in the fridge? Also, will the avo turn brown if you don’t use it up in say, 3 days? Looks yummy!

  7. This looks great! I bought chicken breasts today and realized that I was tired of all my usual chicken salads. Your timing is perfect 😊
