Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 (6 -7 ounce) chicken breasts, cooked (see note)
1 jalapeno, diced seeds and membranes removed
4 tablespoons fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 lime, juiced (to taste)
1/4 red onion, diced fine (to taste)
1/3 cup mayonnaise (to taste)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper
2 ripe avocados, cut in half seed removed

Steps:

  • Shred or dice cooked chicken. Add the mayonaise, Dijon, cumin, lime juice, salt and pepper; stir to incorporate. Mix in red onion, jalapeno and cilantro. Refrigerate for several hours to let flavors meld. Serve mounded in avocado halves.
  • Note: Chicken breasts may be cooked by first drying with a paper towel. Season well with salt and pepper (or Mexican spice mix) then placing in a flat microwavable dish. Cover loosely (I just place the splatter lid over.) Microwave high for about 5-10 minutes, testing at intervals for doneness. Do not over cook.
