This chicken salad is a personal favorite in my kitchen when I need something quick but satisfying. The combination of tender chicken and buttery avocado creates a wonderful texture that feels fancy enough for guests but is simple enough for a Tuesday night dinner.

My best tip is to wait until the very last second to fold in the avocado pieces. It keeps them from getting mashed up too much so you get those nice chunks of creamy goodness in every single bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the cooked chicken, corn, crumbled bacon, and diced red onion into a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    In a small separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly.

  4. 4

    Add the diced avocado to the bowl and fold it in very carefully to keep the pieces intact.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately or chill for thirty minutes if you prefer your salad cold.

💡 Tips

Serve this salad over a bed of fresh mixed greens for a lighter meal or scoop it into lettuce cups for an easy low carb lunch. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day, though it is definitely best when enjoyed fresh.
