Chicken Avocado Salad
Chicken avocado salad is one of my favorites go to salad, easy to make, super testy and healthy. It makes a great meal for one or as a side to share, I used skinless boneless chicken breast but thighs or drumsticks works as well, my dressing is simple lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, if you are a fan of garlic like me mince a clove and add to your dressing.
