Step 1

Begin by cooking and shredding the chicken breast if not already done. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped eggs, diced avocado, chopped celery, finely chopped red onion, and fresh parsley.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the chicken and egg mixture and gently toss to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Step 7

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste if necessary.

Step 8
