Ingredients You’ll Need

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great!)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (use mayo for keto)
1 tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice)
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the Avocados
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out a little extra flesh if needed to create more space for the filling. Save the scooped avocado for the chicken mixture.
Make the Chicken Salad
In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken, Greek yogurt (or mayo), lime juice, celery, red onion, tomatoes, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Add the extra avocado flesh and gently mash it into the mixture for extra creaminess.
Stuff the Avocados
Spoon the chicken salad mixture evenly into the avocado halves. Press down gently to pack it in.
Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for Success

Use ripe avocados: They should be slightly soft to the touch for the best texture.
Add a kick: Toss in some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for spice.
Make it ahead: Prepare the chicken salad and store it in the fridge. Stuff the avocados just before serving to prevent browning.
Customize it: Add bacon bits, shredded cheese, or your favorite herbs for extra flavor.

Nutritional Benefits

Avocados: Rich in healthy fats, fiber, and potassium.
Chicken: High-quality protein to keep you full and energized.
Greek yogurt: Adds creaminess and a boost of probiotics (if using).

Serving Suggestions

As a meal: Pair with a side salad or roasted veggies.
As an appetizer: Serve at parties or gatherings for a healthy snack.
For meal prep: Keep the chicken salad and avocados separate until ready to eat.
