Notes
I prefer to mix everything together very well. The more you mix, the creamier the avocado will be in this chicken salad.
To cook the chicken: I always make my chicken a little ahead of time and season it with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder, cook it in a skillet, then chop it up. I'm sure some chopped rotisserie chicken would work well too.
To store: This avocado chicken salad will last up to 3 days if stored in the fridge in an airtight container. Note that the avocado will oxidize (turn brown) over time. That's normal and won't affect the flavor.
