Ingredients

Chicken Salad:
  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 2 tbsp minced fresh parsley
  • 3/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
  • salt
  • fresh cracked black pepper
Stuffed Avocado:
  • 5 ripe avocados (can use 4-6 avocados with more or less stuffing)
  • 1 lime – juice only
  • salt
  • paprika
  • chili powder

Instructions

  • NOTE: Chicken salad recipe makes about 3 1/2 cups. This recipe can make about 8-12 stuffed avocados, depending on how much stuffing is used on each half. Chicken salad can also be made ahead of time and used as needed for individual avocados. 

Chicken Salad:

  • Take rotisserie chicken apart, picking out all the meat.
  • Dice chicken meat and add it to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add diced red onion, diced celery, parsley, mayo, sour cream lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix very well, until all ingredients are incorporated throughout. 

Stuffed Avocados:

  • Cut avocados in half and take out the pits. Use a large spoon to gently separate the skin off the avocado flesh. Carefully spoon the avocado meat out, leaving it intact.
  • Make a thin slice at the rounded bottom of each avocado half to help it stand without rolling over. 
  • Rub each avocado half with lime juice on all sides and season it with salt all around. Sprinkle just a pinch of paprika and chili powder onto the avocado.
  • Spoon about 1/3 cup of chicken salad into the avocado halves and serve.
