Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup plain greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 diced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, from the can of chipotles
  • 1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • Pickled onions, for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the chicken in a large bowl with the green onions.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayo, chipotle, adobo sauce, lime juice and zest with a big pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. 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.
  4. This mixture stays great in the fridge for a few days if you make it ahead! Right before serving, stir in 1 chopped avocado.
  5. 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!
