Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Celery
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 3 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a medium-sized pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and allow it to cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by mashing the avocado until smooth.
Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Dice the celery stalks and chop the red onion finely. Add them to the dressing mixture.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, and slice the cherry tomatoes and cucumber. Add these to the mixing bowl.
Add the shredded chicken to the bowl with the dressing and vegetables. Toss everything together until the chicken is well coated and the vegetables are evenly distributed.
Garnish the salad with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
