  1. Begin by preparing your fresh ingredients for the Avocado Chicken Salad. Dice two ripe avocados into bite-sized pieces, halve a cup of cherry tomatoes, and finely chop a small red onion. Finish by chopping a handful of fresh cilantro.
  2. If your chicken isn’t pre-shredded, pull apart cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces, aiming for about two cups which can be obtained from a rotisserie chicken.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the shredded chicken, diced avocados, chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.
  4. Drizzle the mixture with fresh lime juice and sprinkle in salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything together gently, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
  5. Before serving, taste the salad and adjust lime juice, salt, or pepper as needed.
