Instructions

In a large bowl, combine chopped chicken, celery, red onion, and bell pepper.
Add diced avocado. Gently fold everything together to keep some avocado chunks.
Add cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently.
Serve immediately or chill for 15–30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
Rotisserie chicken makes this recipe even faster—just shred and toss.
Customize with extras like diced cucumber, shredded carrots, or a hard-boiled egg for more protein.
Add crunch by serving with lettuce wraps, over greens, or with low-carb crackers.
Meal prep tip: Store without avocado and mix it in just before serving to keep it fresh.
