How do you make a healthy chicken salad sandwich?

By looking at the picture of the avocado chicken salad sandwich, you would NEVER guess that there is a entire fresh avocado used in the recipe.

It’s glorious, and a great way to sneak a healthy fat into your diet.

There are a lot of health benefits of avocados! Avocados are:

• high in protein
• rich in vitamin K
• vitamin B
• vitamin C, and
• vitamin E

So the next time you *think* you won’t eat an avocado, rethink that, because I did and have come to LOVE them!

I always *thought* I hated avocados. I mean they just look nasty from the outside, am I right?!? As I’ve been on this “eating right” thing I’m on, I’ve come to realize there are A LOT of fruits and vegetables I have never tried, so I decided to expand my taste buds a bit.

How do you make avocado chicken salad?

Boil or poach the chicken. To do that in a large pot, place chicken and cover with water and/or chicken broth. The chicken broth just gives added flavor to the chicken.

Remove the chicken once cooked through, about 8-10 minutes of a steady boil.

Place in food processor or using a hand mixer shred chicken.

Add remaining ingredients to the food processor and combine until mixed well.

Serve on a croissant, toast, bread or just eat it with a fork!

How long does avocado chicken salad last in the fridge?

When kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the chicken salad will stay fresh for about 5 days. Unfortunately, it does not freeze well.
