Ingredients
Avocado Base
- 2 avocados
Chicken Salad Filling
- 2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie or baked)
- 1/2 cup paleo mayo
- 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: If not using rotisserie chicken, bake 3 chicken breasts at 400°F (204°C) for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. Allow to cool slightly, then shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.
- Prepare the Avocados: Pit the avocados and scoop out a little more of the flesh from the center to create a larger cavity. Transfer the scooped avocado to a large bowl and mash gently with a fork.
- Mix the Salad: Add the shredded chicken, paleo mayo, spicy brown mustard, diced red onion, diced celery, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Stuff the Avocados: Spoon the chicken salad mixture back into the hollowed avocado halves evenly.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy texture and fresh flavors. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Notes
- For homemade paleo mayo, blend 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon mustard, 1 cup avocado oil, lemon juice, and salt until thick.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut and enhanced flavor.
- To keep avocados fresh longer, sprinkle with a little lemon or lime juice before assembling.
- This recipe is perfect for low-carb and paleo diets.
