Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken, 1 ripe avocado, 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the mashed avocado. Use a fork or a potato masher to thoroughly mash the avocado until it reaches a smooth consistency with minimal lumps.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the mashed avocado. This will add creaminess to the dip while providing a tangy flavor. Mix well until the two ingredients are fully combined.
- Next, squeeze in 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice. This will not only add flavor but also help to prevent the avocado from browning. Stir the mixture until the lime juice is evenly distributed.
- Now, add the shredded cooked chicken to the bowl. Gently fold the chicken into the avocado and yogurt mixture until it is well coated.
- Incorporate the diced tomatoes into the mixture. This will add freshness and a pop of color to your dip. Gently stir to combine.
- Season the dip with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small pinch of each and adjust according to your preference. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
- Your Avocado Chicken Salad Dip is now ready to serve! Transfer it to a serving bowl and enjoy it with your favorite dippers like tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
- For an extra touch, consider garnishing the dip with additional diced tomatoes or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley before serving.
Tips
- Choose a ripe avocado: Look for one that yields slightly to gentle pressure but isn't mushy.
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for maximum convenience and flavor.
- Chill the dip for 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- For extra freshness, add the diced tomatoes just before serving to prevent them from making the dip watery.
- Experiment with additional herbs like cilantro or green onions for added complexity.
- If you're not serving immediately, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the dip to prevent browning.
- For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or some diced jalapeños.
- Serve with a variety of dippers like tortilla chips, pita chips, or fresh vegetable sticks to keep things interesting.
