Avocado Chicken Salad

This Avocado Chicken Salad with my "staple" shredded chicken I make every week is Ahhh-MAZING! It is full of FLAVOR and you probably wouldn't know it was CLEAN EATING unless you knew what was in it! I often prefer to enjoy it on toasted Ezekiel bread, but you could pair it with a wrap, crackers, raw veggies, or even alone. Yum!

AVOCADO CHICKEN SALAD

Ingredients:
2 cups shredded chicken
1 avocado
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp lime juice
1 tsp fresh cilantro
1/2 cup plain fat-free Greek Yogurt

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes to let all those yummy flavors blend together.
3. Serve on your favorite bread, crackers, pita pocket or on a bed of lettuce.

Note: the original recipe before I added my modifications gave an OPTION of 1/4 cup of mayo and 1/4 cup plain FF greek yogurt OR the 1/2 cup plain FF greek yogurt. I chose the 1/2 cup of plain FF greek yogurt and the flavor was definitely there! Also, feel free to add another cup of chicken (for a total of 3) if the consistency of the salad is too runny for you.

* makes 4 servings (based on using 2 cups of chicken)*
