  • Hey everyone, it's Natasha of natashaskitchen.com. Today we're making an

  • avocado chicken salad that has so much flavor. It's creamy but light with the

  • avocado and so satisfying. We start with the star ingredient, chicken. I'm using

  • rotisserie chicken which makes this salad so easy. You can cook the chicken

  • breast yourself or use the well-drained canned chicken and a pinch. So dice or

  • shred 2 large chicken breasts and place them into a large mixing bowl. Next, we

  • add two large ripe avocados. Peel and pit each avocado and slice them into

  • bite-size pieces then add them to the mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of cooked corn and

  • I do think freshly cooked corn is the best. It adds a really nice sweet pop of

  • flavor to the salad. Add 1/4 cup of chopped green onion or chives which

  • makes this salad so fresh and fragrant. I cooked 6 ounces of bacon until browned

  • and crispy coarsely chop that up and add it to the salad bowl.

  • Finally, add two Tbsp of fresh dill and now let's make that easy lemon

  • dressing. squeeze three Tbsp of juice from one large lemon,

  • combine that with three Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil one tsp of

  • salt and 1/8 of a tsp of black pepper. Stir that together until combined

  • and that's all there is to it. This is one of my favorite dressings. It smells

  • so good! Drizzle it over your salad and toss everything to combine. I am excited

  • because this is lunch and I'm hungry! What time is it? Almost 5:00, its a late

  • lunch, but I can't wait. All that's left to do is the taste test so

  • that's exactly what we're going to do.

  • And I also like to serve the salad with eggs hard-boiled eggs because it makes

  • it just so satisfying. These are optional but nice. There we go, all right,

  • let's get a sample, a generous sample.

  • Mm-hmm, that's delicious. The lemon really shines in that dressing

  • and it makes it so fresh and bright. I love those little salty bites of bacon in

  • there and then so much avocado with healthy alternative to the creamy

  • chicken salad you see normally but definitely not lacking in flavor. You can

  • serve it as a salad, you can make sandwiches, put it in pitas, serve it in

  • lettuce wraps and it also is really good the next day so it's perfect for work or

  • school lunch. Yeah this salad is awesome. If you enjoyed this recipe, give me a great
