A fresh and creamy chicken salad featuring ripe avocado, perfect for a healthy and satisfying main dish. This recipe combines tender chicken with the smooth texture of avocado and a touch of citrus for brightness.

Main Dish

Steps

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
Add Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado and mix well.
Fold in the shredded chicken breast and chopped cilantro.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or chili flakes if desired.
Serve immediately as a main dish or chill for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips for Creamy Avocado Chicken Salad

Choose an avocado that yields gently to pressure; one that is too firm can leave the salad lumpy and less creamy.
For the best texture, use chicken that is cool or just slightly warm, not piping hot, which can soften the avocado further.
Serve on crisp lettuce leaves or with toasted bread for a contrast to the creamy salad.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry Sauvignon Blanc
Its bright citrus character complements the lemon and fresh cilantro without overwhelming the creamy avocado.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers promptly in an airtight container and eat within 3–4 days. The avocado may darken over time; stir before serving and discard if left out for more than 2 hours.
