Healthy Avocado Chicken Salad
Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad just got a whole lot cooler!
If you love chicken salad and avocados, then you are going to go ga-ga for this recipe. After my first bite , I had an OMG moment. How can this taste THIS GOOD and be HEALTHY!
To make this recipe even more awesome, I used 1/2 mayo and 1/2 plain Greek Yogurt. This plus the creamy chunks of avocado really do take this recipe up a notch. Double bonus…. my daughters also loved it 🙂 So next time you are thinking about whipping up some chicken salad, please do yourself a favor and give this amazing recipe a try.

This is by far the best chicken salad I’ve ever had! I didn’t add the cilantro(never did like it),but I put a little sriracha and made a toasted wrap….delicious!
This may be a silly question but how did you cook the chicken? In the oven? Crockpot? Just curious. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Not a silly question at all Sarah! I have a crockpot recipe here https://www.familyfreshmeals.com/2014/05/easy-crockpot-shredded-chicken.html and and Instant Pot Chicken recipe here: https://www.familyfreshmeals.com/2017/02/instant-pot-shredded-chicken-breast.html
You could also use leftover rotisserie chicken 🙂
Do you boil the chicken or grill it before shredding? I’m completely new to cooking, so sorry if this sounds like a stupid question…
You can boil it, grill it, bake it…. whatever is your favorite way to prepare your chicken. I also love cooking my chicken in the crockpot. https://www.familyfreshmeals.com/2014/05/easy-crockpot-shredded-chicken.html
Thank You! Will give this a try, I’m working on eating less sugar and more healthy fat. This sounds like a winner!
This recipe is so delicious!!!!!! We wanted something light for dinner and this was perfect. A lot of people don’t like onions or want celery like my husband which a lot of other recipes include. This is so much healthier with cilantro, lime juice and avocados. It filled 1 1/2 pita’s so if you want more I would double the recipe. I used 1 cup of Hellman’s mayo vs 1/2 mayo and 1/2 yogurt. This is a keeper and will make regularly.
