Begin by dicing the cucumber and radishes into small, even cubes and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Chop the cooked chicken breast into similarly sized cubes as the vegetables.
Finely slice the green onions, dill, and fresh parsley, then add them to the bowl with the cucumber, radishes, and chicken.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the kefir (or thinned yogurt), lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the liquid mixture over the diced vegetables and chicken, stirring gently to coat all ingredients in the bowl.
Chop the boiled eggs into small pieces and add them to the soup, stirring gently to incorporate.
Dice the avocado into cubes and add it to the soup just before serving to prevent browning.
Chill the okroshka in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold in bowls, and garnish with additional dill and a lemon wedge, if desired.
