I was flipping through a local magazine yesterday and came across a recipe section for healthy recipes. There was a recipe for avocado chicken salad…which immediately reminded me of my recipe. I had just roasted a chicken last night…so, you guessed it. I whipped up a batch of Avocado Chicken Salad today for lunch. It’s a great recipe that is packed full of healthy fats and protein. Substituting plain Greek yogurt for part of the mayo makes this dish much lower in fat and calories, without losing the flavor. Serve it as a sandwich, on a bed of lettuce or my favorite plain with a side of pita chips. 🙂
