Ingredients

  • ¾ lb. boneless skinless chicken breast
  • ¼ cup chopped lettuce or kale
  • ¼ cup red grapes halved
  • 2 mandarin oranges peeled (or 6 oz. canned mandarins)
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • 4 avocados
  • sliced almonds for garnish

For the Dressing

  • 3 tablespoon mayonnaise or Greek yogurt -plain or honey flavor
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoon poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place chicken breast in a small pot, add water to cover chicken. Bring to a boil then reduce temperature to medium. Cook until chicken is no longer pink (about 10 min.) Remove chicken from water and set aside to cool. Once cool to the touch, use two forks to shred chicken.
  • In a medium bowl combine cooked chicken, lettuce, grapes, mandarin oranges and celery. Mix thoroughly.
  • Slice avocados in half. Remove the pits. Using a spoon gently scoop out a portion of the flesh to create the "bowl". Cut or slice the avocado flesh you removed and add to the chicken salad mixture. Scoop chicken salad into the avocado halves.

To make dressing

  • Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl, or shake to incorporate in a small mason jar.
  • Drizzle dressing over avocado/chicken salad halves.
