Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (grilled or boiled)
- 2 ripe avocados, mashed
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
If you haven’t cooked your chicken yet, boil or grill it until fully cooked. Let it cool, then shred it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Mash the Avocados
Peel and remove the pits from the avocados. Place them in a large mixing bowl and mash them using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Step 3: Mix in the Dressing
Add Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the mashed avocado. Stir well to combine.
Step 4: Add Vegetables
Toss in the chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and fresh cilantro or parsley. Mix everything together.
Step 5: Fold in the Chicken
Gently fold the shredded chicken into the avocado mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Step 6: Adjust Seasoning
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer a creamier texture, add more Greek yogurt or mayo.
Step 7: Serve
Serve immediately as a sandwich filling, on lettuce wraps, or with crackers for a refreshing, healthy meal.
