This avocado chicken salad makes a great lunch or dinner that is easy to prepare. There are many ingredients in this recipe that blend together well to give these sandwiches a delicious flavor. The avocado dressing really makes this recipe great. The dressing is avocado based, but also has the flavor of mint in it. The chicken mixture itself uses ingredients such as celery, shallot, avocado, parmesan cheese, and dry ranch dressing mix. You can cook the chicken any way you like, but what I did was bake the chicken breasts and then sliced them into small chunks. This recipe is a great way to use up any leftover cooked chicken you may have. If you are looking for a great recipe for chicken salad sandwiches, give this one a try. Enjoy.
