Ingredients

  • 1/2 of a whole chicken picked from the bones
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup ham, diced
  • 3 hard boiled eggs diced
  • 1 cup avocado mayo
  • 1 whole avocado diced
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 1/2 pound bacon crumbled
  • 1 medium tomatoes diced
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (optional) you could also use dried.

Instructions

  • Shred half of cooked whole chicken and place in a large bowl.
  • Add mayo, seasonings, ham, onion, bacon, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, and give it a good stir.
  • Toss in fresh parsley and avocado and gently fold in.

Notes

  • If there is a vegetable your kids don’t like, dice it up really finely. My kids are not fans of onion, so I dice it really small and they eat it up.
  • If you are adding avocados to your chicken salad, add them last so they don’t get as smushed.
  • Chicken salad is very versatile; try adding your own variations with different fresh vegetables.
  • Adding fresh herbs really give these recipes that extra pop of flavor.
