My hubby looked at this dinner and said "why are you trying to feed me this bird food as our dinner." As I've said before, he's a meat & potatoes kind of guy...this was a little to "light" for him. We both really like this recipe, but I've always made it as an appetizer never as our dinner (ok- I was really lazy & didn't feel like going to the store on the Friday before the 4th of July) I can say from experience that this recipe pairs really well with a good crisp glass of white wine- not that I'd know or anything.
{Creamy Avocado Chicken Salad}
Adapted by me, I have no idea where I got this recipe...
but it's changed & changed & changed into this final product
1 cup of rotisserie chicken; shredded
1/2 cup corn (I use canned corn- again, lazy)
1/2 cup black beans; drained & rinsed
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup cilantro
1/2 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup crushed crispy jalapeno slices (I use fresh gourmet brand)
4 Tablespoons Mayo
2 teaspoons sugar1/8 teaspoon salt & pepper
4 avocados; sliced in half & pit removed
Panko bread crumbs
Olive oil cooking spray
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, corn, black beans, green onion, cilantro, cherry tomatoes & crispy jalapeno slices. Whisk together mayo, vinegar, sugar, salt & pepper. Slice the avocados & make the pit area a little bigger. Spoon the chicken mixture into the avocado halves. Preheat oven broiler to high. Sprinkle the chicken mixture with a small amount of panko. Place under broiler for approximately 30 seconds. *Tip: the idea is to crisp the panko, not warm the chicken mixture. It should be served at room temperature.
This looks delicious and I will be pinning it!
