Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork or potato masher
  • Cutting board

  1. Start with cooked, shredded chicken. If you have leftover chicken, great; otherwise, rotisserie chicken is a fantastic shortcut.
  2. In a mixing bowl, scoop out the avocado and mash it with a fork until creamy.
  3. Mix in the Greek yogurt or mayonnaise with the mashed avocado.
  4. Pour in the lime juice and stir everything together.
  5. Add the chopped red onion and celery to the mixture.
  6. Gently fold in the shredded chicken until everything is well combined.
  7. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to your liking.
  8. If you like, top with chopped cilantro or parsley for a fresh touch. Serve immediately or chill for a bit.
