This chicken salad is a favorite in my kitchen because it is so refreshing and filling at the same time. The creaminess of the avocado acts like a natural dressing, which makes every bite feel rich and indulgent without being heavy.

I love serving this on a bed of greens or tucked into a toasted croissant for a quick lunch. My best tip is to wait until you are ready to serve before mixing in the avocado so it stays bright green and does not brown.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
1 ripe avocado, diced
1/2 cup sweet corn kernels
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt and black pepper to taste

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Place the cooked chicken, sweet corn, bacon, red onion, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl.
2
Gently fold in the diced avocado pieces so they do not get too mushy.
3
Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture to help keep the avocado fresh and add a nice tang.
4
Season the salad with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
5
Toss everything together very gently and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day, though it is definitely best when eaten fresh. You can also add a splash of olive oil if you want it a bit creamier or serve it inside lettuce wraps for a lighter meal.
