Ingredients - Serves 8
1.3 lbs. (600g) boneless skinless chicken breast
1 small onion, sliced + 1 extra onion, finely chopped
Sea salt & black pepper
Water (enough to cover the chicken by 1-2 inches)
2½ ripe avocados
3 cloves garlic, minced
0.5 oz. (15g) cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp. mayonnaise
2 tbsp. lime juice
Instructions:
Poach the Chicken:In a pot, place the chicken breasts, sliced onion, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Add enough water to cover the chicken by 1-2 inches. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Once done, remove the chicken from the pot and allow it to cool.
Prepare the Avocado Mixture:In a large bowl, mash the avocados. Add the minced garlic, finely chopped onion, cilantro, mayonnaise, and lime juice. Stir until the ingredients are well combined.
Shred the Chicken:Once the chicken has cooled, shred it into small pieces. Add the shredded chicken to the avocado mixture.
Season & Combine: Season the mixture with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything together until evenly combined.
Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken and avocado filling until ready to serve.
