Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cup cooked shredded chicken breast
  • 1.5 cup diced ripe avocado
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped celery
  • 0.25 cup minced red onion
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 0.33 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.75 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for a little heat
  • 0.5 tsp honey optional, balances the lime

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk mayonnaise, yogurt, lime juice, Dijon, garlic powder, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and honey in a large bowl.
  • Add the shredded chicken and fold until evenly coated with the dressing.
  • Gently stir in avocado, celery, red onion, and cilantro. Mix just until combined to keep the avocado chunky.
  • Taste and adjust lime and salt. Chill 10 minutes if you like it extra crisp.
  • Serve on toast, tucked into lettuce cups, or spooned with crackers.

Notes

Variation: Swap half the cilantro with chopped dill for a fresh twist, or add 2 tbsp diced jalapeño for extra kick. Storage: Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days; add a squeeze of lime to keep the avocado bright.
