• 2 stalks Celery
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 3 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in a medium-sized pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 2

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and allow it to cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by mashing the avocado until smooth.

Step 4

Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Step 5

Dice the celery stalks and chop the red onion finely. Add them to the dressing mixture.

Step 6

Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, and slice the cherry tomatoes and cucumber. Add these to the mixing bowl.

Step 7

Add the shredded chicken to the bowl with the dressing and vegetables. Toss everything together until the chicken is well coated and the vegetables are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Garnish the salad with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
