Ingredients

  • 2 cooked chicken breasts diced (Grilled chicken breast or rotisserie chicken work great)
  • 2 ripe avocados peeled and diced
  • 1 jalapeno finely diced
  • 1 handful of cilantro roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup red onion diced small
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add in diced chicken, avocado, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, red onion and lime.
  • Stir to combine and coat all of the chicken with avocado.
  • The avocado will break down a bit to cover the rest of the chicken salad ingredients, but will still retain avocado chunks as well. If you want a smoother chicken salad, combine the guacamole ingredients first and then add in the chicken.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
