This Avocado Chicken Salad recipe is creamy, fresh, and packed with flavor from bacon, lime, and cilantro! An easy, healthy lunch or dinner ready in minutes.
Aimee’s Recipe Notes
This avocado chicken salad is the kind of recipe I come back to when I want something quick and satisfying.
It comes together in minutes, especially if you choose a rotisserie chicken. The avocado gives it that creamy textue without feeling heavy.
Serve it on a croissant, scoop it up with crackers, or serve with lettuce wraps for a low carb lunch.
Enjoy!

Avocado Chicken Salad Recipe
This creamy Avocado Chicken Salad Recipe is perfect for a hearty, healthy lunch. Serve on bread, with crackers, or eat with a fork!
Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 2 avocados, diced
- ¼ cup red onion, diced
- 2 Tablespoons cilantro, snipped
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 drops hot sauce, any variety
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 lime, juiced
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine cooked bacon and chicken with avocado, onion, cilantro, garlic salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
- Mix until combined. In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise with lime juice. Fold into the chicken salad and mix until blended.
Notes
- Use my recipe to make shredded chicken, or pick up a rotisserie chicken to make this dinner or lunch easier.
- Serve chicken salad with croissants, crackers, or on a bed of spring mix to make a salad.
- For a chunkier salad, add the avocado last so it remains cubed, not blended.
- For a heartier, chunkier salad, add 1/2 cup corn and 1/2 cup black beans.
- For a spicier salad, add 1 seeded and diced jalapeno.
