Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken

Instructions

  1. Place the cooked, shredded chicken in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the crumbled bacon, chopped lettuce, diced tomato, and diced avocado to the bowl with the chicken.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.
  4. Pour the dressing mixture over the chicken and vegetable mixture.
  5. Add the chopped celery.
  6. Gently fold all ingredients together until everything is coated. Do not overmix.

Notes

  • For a low-carb or keto option, use mayonnaise instead of Greek yogurt and omit any added sugar in your mustard.
  • To make this recipe ahead, mix all ingredients except the tomato and avocado; add those just before serving to maintain texture.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for faster preparation.
