Stuffed Avocados with Chicken Salad

Ingredients (Serves 4)

1. For the Filling:
   1. 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
   1. 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
   1. 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
   1. 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
   1. 1/2 avocado, diced
   1. 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
   1. Juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
   1. Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
   1. Optional: Red pepper flakes for a bit of spice
2. For the Avocado Boats:
   1. 4 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Chicken Salad:
   1. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, red onion, diced avocado, lemon or lime juice, parsley or cilantro, salt, and pepper.
   1. Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly combined.
2. Prepare the Avocado Halves:
   1. Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop out a small portion of the flesh from the center to create a deeper cavity for the filling.
