Instructions

Place the chicken in a large bowl with the green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayo, chipotle, adobo sauce, lime juice and zest with a big pinch of salt and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss well. Combine and stir until every bit is covered. Taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed.
This mixture stays great in the fridge for a few days if you make it ahead! Right before serving, stir in 1 chopped avocado.
Serve with toast, on crackers or chips, in lettuce cups or on salads. I love to serve with pickled onions on top for even more crunch!
