Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and chilled
1 ripe avocado
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
8 grape tomatoes, halved
½ small onion, finely chopped
Salt to taste
Directions
Cut the cooked and chilled chicken breasts into ½-inch cubes and set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until it reaches an almost smooth consistency with just a few small chunks.
Stir the lime juice into the mashed avocado until well combined.
Add the cubed chicken, chopped onion, and halved tomatoes to the avocado mixture.
Gently toss all ingredients together until the salad is evenly coated with the avocado mixture. Season with salt to taste and serve immediately.
Comments
This salad is genuinely quick if you start with rotisserie chicken from any Charlotte chain, though five minutes assumes the bird is already cooked—budget ten if you're starting from scratch. Avocado, lime, tomato, and onion are all reliable finds at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger, making this a no-special-trip meal. At roughly $2.50 to $3.50 per serving depending on avocado season, it's solid value for a protein-heavy lunch. The real caveat is avocado: quality and price swing wildly, and a hard or overripe fruit can ruin both timing and taste, so buy with care a day ahead if possible.
