Chicken and Avocado, a perfect pair


I've always seen the combination of chicken and fresh avocado used in recipes before but never bothered to try it. It seemed so much more convenient to buy store-made guacamole rather than cut apart fresh avocados and slice them without turning them into mush. This weekend I decided to change that and made a chili-lime chicken salad with fresh avocado and a cilantro-lime vinaigrette. So much better than chicken with guacamole! I'm now officially addicted to using fresh avocado with chicken. There's so many things that can be done with the pair. Here are a few ideas to play with:


Chicken and Chipotle Soup with Diced Avocado

Grilled Chicken Skewers with Avocado Sauce

Chicken and Avocado Soft Tacos

Spicy Shredded Chicken and Avocado on Tortilla Wedges

Chicken Salad-Stuffed Avocados

Grilled Chicken and Avocado Sandwiches

Chicken and Avocado in Cream Sauce (Poulet et Poire d'Avocat a la Creme)

Chicken and Avocado Quesadilla


The list goes on! Just be creative and see what you can whip up.
