Begin by cooking the chicken breasts. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from skillet and allow to cool.
While the chicken is cooling, cook the bacon in the same skillet until crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado until creamy.
Add the mayonnaise and lemon juice to the mashed avocado, and mix until well combined.
Chop the red onion finely and add it to the avocado mixture along with the chopped cilantro. Stir until the ingredients are well-incorporated.
Once the chicken is cool to handle, chop it into bite-sized pieces and add them to the avocado mixture.
Add the crumbled bacon to the salad and stir until everything is well combined. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve the Keto Creamy Avocado & Chicken Salad cold or at room temperature, and enjoy as a hearty low-carb meal.
