I LOVE avocados, I love bacon, I love chicken, it just stands to reason that I mucho LOVE this recipe!
Besides, a weekly meal plan that included a Creamy Lemon Chicken AND a Creamy Pan Seared Salmon, it begged to be followed by a week that involves a Steak SALAD and today’s Stuffed Avocados.
After a lovely lunch that consisted of 4 halves of my Deviled Avocados, I figured it was time to change up a few things and incorporate a chicken salad.
To prepare this delicious and impressive stuffed avocado recipe, all you’re going to need is:
- Avocados… yep!
- cooked chicken breasts
- BACON!
- and green onions
FOR THE LEMON DRESSING, you will need:
- Lemons!
- garlic
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- dried oregano
- salt and pepper
Whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl and adjust the seasonings to taste.
HOW TO STUFF AN AVOCADO
Rich and loaded with nutrients, stuffed avocados are the perfect vehicle to load up with your favorite healthy ingredients.
- To begin, cut the avocados in half and remove the pit.
- Carefully scoop out the avocado flesh and cut into cubes; transfer to a mixing bowl and squeeze lemon juice over the avocados AND the empty avocado shells so they do not brown.
- Dice up some cooked chicken and add it to the salad bowl.
- Cook bacon to a desired crispness; crumble it, and add it to the salad bowl.
- Take three to four green onions and slice both, white and green parts. Add the white parts to the salad bowl and keep the green parts for garnish.
- Toss the salad with the prepared lemon dressing, taste for seasonings and adjust accordingly. Then, grab a spoon and stuff the prepared chicken bacon salad back into the empty avocado shells.
- Top with a dollop of yogurt, if desired, garnish with dried parsley and green onions, and serve.
I could seriously eat 4 of these in one sitting. I actually might have done that. In all honesty, I can’t resist the texture! Never mind that it’s as delicious as an avocado can get, but the textures of the crunchy bacon and green onions, plus the buttery avocado, and tender chicken – it’s just so much goodness all in one bite.
THAT is what will have you morning-dreaming up until lunch time.
