Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 2 large ripe avocados, pitted and cubed
  • 0.25 cup red onion, finely minced
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Combine the shredded chicken breast and minced red onion in a large stainless steel mixing bowl.
  • Add the cubed avocado to the bowl.
  • Immediately drizzle the lime juice and olive oil over the avocado to inhibit enzymatic browning.
  • Incorporate the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Add the chopped cilantro to the mixture.
  • Using a flexible spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until the avocado slightly breaks down to coat the chicken while maintaining structural integrity of the cubes.
  • Transfer to a chilled airtight container and maintain a temperature of 40°F (4°C) until service.
