Instructions

Shred a rotisserie chicken (or cooked leftover chicken of choice) and add it to a large bowl along with the red onion, sliced avocado, and sun-dried tomatoes.
Pour in the pesto sauce and toss until everything is well-combined and coated in pesto.
Taste the chicken salad for flavor and add more pesto, some sea salt, and/or black pepper to taste.
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Use this as a delicious chicken salad sandwich recipe, or eat it as is or on top of a green salad.

Notes

Note: If you know you won’t be consuming the salad within 24 hours, wait to add the avocado until you actually go to eat the salad so that the avocado doesn’t get mushy.
