Chicken and Avocado Salad

Chicken and Avocado Salad

INGREDIENTS:

2 8oz boneless, skinless chicken breast

3/4 tsp adobo

8 oz diced avocados, 2-3 small Hass

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

juice of 1 1/2 limes

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 tblsp extra virgin olive oil

 

DIRECTIONS:

Poaching chicken (a super healthy way to cook chicken)

Place chicken in single layer in saucepan or large pot. Sprinkle salt over the chicken. If you want to use any aromatics such as smashed garlic cloves, ginger, thinly sliced onions, or dry white wine feel free to add to the pan.

Cover the chicken with cool water. Enough to cover the chicken by an inch.

Bring water to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce to simmer, cover and reduce heat to low. Chicken, depending on thickness, will take 10-14 mins to cook through. After 8 minutes use a meat thermometer to check temp at thickest point. Once 165 degrees are reached the chicken is sufficiently cooked. Remove chicken from water and allow to cool. Once cooled the chicken can be cubed into bite size pieces.

Combine chicken with the remaining ingredients. Can be served at room temperature or chilled
