Notes

  • You can cook and shred chicken breast but if you're after a super quick recipe, use rotisserie chicken.
  • You want ripe avocados for this recipe. If the avocado gives in to firm gentle pressure you know it's ripe and ready-to-eat. 
  • Add extra crunch with carrots, cucumbers, or chopped cabbage.
  • Add fiber by folding in some drained chickpeas. This makes the salad even heartier.
  • Use this Healthy Chicken Salad as a sandwich spread - so good!
  • For a bit of heat, add some chili flakes.
  • A whole host of herbs work well with this, other than parsley. You can go with dill, tarragon, chives, or cilantro.
  • You could also add some chopped fresh, or pickled, jalapenos.
  • For a pop of sweetness, try adding chopped apples, red grapes, dried cranberries, or raisins.
  • Try different seasonings. Seasonings really change the flavor profile of this salad. You could try  Try steak seasoning, Everything Bagel seasoning, lemon pepper, curry powder, or Cajun seasoning.
  • Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is calculated using a nutrition facts calculator. It is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
