Food for Thought: EVERYTHING GREEN! Avocado Chicken Salad Sandwich

AVOCADO CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH

RECIPE

2 Chicken breasts (You can also use canned chicken if you prefer)

2 stalk celery diced

1/2 medium onion diced

1/4 cup of cran-raisins

1/4 cup cashews chopped

1/2 avocado

2 Tablespoons of mayo

The Juice of 1/2 lemon

1/4 Teaspoon thyme

1/2 Teaspoon garlic powder (You will need about 1/4 for the chicken mixture and the avocado mayo.

1/4 Teaspoon Italian seasoning (Basil, oregano, parsley mixture)

1/4 Teaspoon Parsley

Salt/Pepper

Good bread (I used multi-grain bread)

Baby Kale

Baby Spinach

DIRECTIONS

If you are using canned chicken you can disregard this first step. Boil chicken until cooked. Cut chicken into bite size chunks after boiling. Put chicken in bowl and add salt and pepper. Set aside. Next dice celery and onion and put in bowl with chicken. Chop the cashews into pieces large enough to bite into but not crushed. Add cashews and cranraisins to bowl. Add spices and toss together with all ingredients.

Avocado Mayo

Some people love avocado while others do not eat it due to its bland taste but they want the health benefits from it. Mixing avocado with something else can provide the taste you are looking for and offering the excellent benefits that avocados offer. I used about 3/4 of the avocado. You can use as much or as little as you like! Add 2 tablespoons of mayo, salt, pepper, dry parsley, garlic powder, and the juice of one lemon. In a food processor, or by hand, mix ingredients. Add the avocado mixture to the chicken ingredients.
