Avocado Chicken Salad

I love simple and delicious meals.  Not only does it make my life 10 times easier, but that also usually means I eat healthier throughout the week.  This Avocado Chicken Salad is nothing short of easy and delicious.  You can prep the chicken salad at the beginning of the week for lunches, however, wait to add the avocado until just before serving to keep it from browning.

I like serving this on top of mixed greens with fresh veggies, but it’s also incredibly delicious in a wrap, on crackers, or just by itself!

ENJOY!!
