Delicious Guacamole Chicken Salad Recipe for a Healthy Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup ripe avocados, mashed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Chicken

    Shred the cooked chicken and place it in a large mixing bowl.

    Use leftover rotisserie chicken for added flavor.
  2. Make the Guacamole

    In another bowl, mash the avocados and mix in lime juice, garlic powder, and cumin.

    Add lime juice immediately to prevent browning.
  3. Combine Ingredients

    Add cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and the guacamole to the shredded chicken.

    Fold gently to keep the avocado creamy.
  4. Season the Salad

    Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

    Taste before adding more salt; chicken may already be seasoned.
  5. Serve

    Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

    Great as a filling in wraps or as a dip with tortilla chips.
