Ingredients
-
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
-
⅓ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
-
¼ cup mayonnaise
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
-
1 cup diced celery
-
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved (Optional)
-
¼ cup toasted chopped pecans
-
2 firm ripe avocados, halved and pitted
Directions
-
Place chicken in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the chicken registers 165 degrees F with an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then chop or shred. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
-
Combine yogurt, mayonnaise, tarragon, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cold chicken, celery, grapes (if using) and pecans; stir to combine.
-
To serve, fill each avocado half with about 1/2 cup chicken salad. (Refrigerate the extra chicken salad for up to 3 days.)
