Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocado (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken Salad

01 - 1 whole rotisserie chicken, meat removed and diced
02 - 1/4 cup red onion, diced
03 - 1/4 cup celery, diced
04 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
05 - 3/4 cup mayonnaise
06 - 1/4 cup sour cream
07 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
08 - Salt, to taste
09 - Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

→ Stuffed Avocado

10 - 5 ripe avocados (or 4–6 based on size and filling preference)
11 - 1 lime, juice only
12 - Salt, to taste
13 - Paprika, for sprinkling
14 - Chili powder, for sprinkling

# Instructions:

01 - Remove all meat from the rotisserie chicken and dice into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
02 - Add diced red onion, diced celery, minced parsley, mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh lime juice, salt, and cracked black pepper to the diced chicken. Stir thoroughly to fully incorporate.
03 - Cut avocados in half and carefully remove the pits. Using a large spoon, gently separate the flesh from the skin, keeping each half intact.
04 - Trim a thin slice from the rounded bottom of each avocado half to help them sit flat on the serving dish.
05 - Brush each avocado half on all sides with lime juice to prevent browning. Season lightly with salt, paprika, and chili powder.
06 - Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of chicken salad into each avocado half. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For maximum freshness, prepare avocados just before serving to prevent oxidation.
02 - Chicken salad can be prepared in advance and stored refrigerated in an airtight container.
03 - If stuffed avocados remain, scoop out and mash the avocado halves to make guacamole.
