Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ½ cup halved red seedless grapes
  • ¼ cup chopped toasted pecans
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley (optional)

Method
 

  1. Mash the avocado, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Add the chicken, celery, grapes, pecans, and herbs. Fold gently to combine.
  3. Spoon into lettuce cups, cucumber rounds, or onto plates and serve right away.

Notes

If you need to cook the chicken quickly, simmer two boneless skinless breasts in a pot of salted water for about 15 minutes, then shred once cool. Let the chicken chill completely before mixing for the best texture.
