So, once again I am trying different ways to get veggies into my diet. This, so far, is one of my favorites. I love to make homemade chicken salad and adding Avocado just made it fabulous!
Lemon Almond Chicken Salad with Avocado
3 chicken breasts
1 Avocado
2 Tbsp. onion, finely diced
1 stalk celery, finely diced
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. dill
1/8 cup sliced almonds
2 Tbsp. real butter
1/2 c. real mayonnaise (can use light) - more or less
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Cut chicken breasts into small pieces and saute' in skillet with 2 Tbsp. real butter. Add salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is done. Remove, drain any juices and cool completely. While chicken is cooling, cut the meat out of the Avocado and mash it with a fork.
Once chicken is cook, add to a large bowl. Mix in Avocado, lemon juice, onions, celery, dill and almonds. Stir to combine. Start adding mayonnaise a couple Tbsp. at a time. You want it creamy and not stiff. Mix in the cheese if desired. After mixing in the cheese, you may need to add a little more mayonnaise. Stir in the almonds. Chill and serve!
Enjoy!
