Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- ½ cup finely chopped celery
- 1 lemon juiced
- ⅓ - ½ cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon creole seasoning
- 2 avocados
- small tomato chopped, optional
Instructions
- Place the chicken meat into a food processor and pulse a few times to roughly chop. Continue pulsing for about 30 seconds until the chicken is finely chopped. If you turn "on" the food processor, your chicken will become a "paste".
- In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning, and blend well. Add the chicken salad and chopped celery, and fold to combine.
- Slice the avocados in half and remove the pit. Use a pairing knife to score the avocado or cut the center from top to bottom and crosswise without piercing the skin.
- Scoop a portion of chicken salad into each avocado, covering the entire surface. Top with chopped tomato, if using.
- Place 1 half into a compartmentalized lunch container and pack your choice of snacks into the empty compartments. Close the containers and pack them into lunch bags with an ice pack.
- Refrigerate the remaining chicken salad in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
