This avocado chicken salad is pretty amazing! I was a little surprised on how much I really enjoyed it. I mean come on... it's just chicken salad ... well chicken
salad that is all jazzed up! We all know the combination of avocado, lime and
cilantro go great together. Add some Greek yogurt instead of mayo and it makes
a fabulous Lean! Serve with your favorite Greens and you have a complete
Lean and Green meal. Yum! Talk about a fiesta in my
mouth!
I grilled some chicken breasts and cut them into bite size pieces. Measure out 10 oz of cooked chicken. You can also use a whole rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Use the breast of the chicken with skin and bones removed.

Then I added the avocado and used my food scale to measure out 3 oz. Add cilantro, lime juice and your seasonings. Then add the Greek yogurt to give it that creamy goodness without all the fat of mayo. Enjoy!
