Equipment

  • 1 large rimmed baking sheet
  • Aluminum foil
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 fork
  • 1 silicone spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pkg bacon
  • ⅔ cup mayonnaise Whole30 compliant brand*
  • 2 medium avocados
  • 2 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 3 pinches salt
  • several dashes black pepper I used 4 dashes
  • 3 pinches crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1.5 lbs pulled rotisserie chicken or 3 12.5oz cans of chicken*

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl add mayonnaise, avocados, and lime juice. Use a fork to mash avocado and mix ingredients together. You can leave the mixture as chucky or smooth as you prefer. I typically have it in between, leaving small chunks of avocado that the fork can't easily mash.
  • Add chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Add chicken and stir to combine. Fold in chopped bacon.
  • When you're ready to serve, add a handful of lettuce to a plate or bowl. Top with chicken salad and sliced cherry tomatoes. Garnish with additional bacon if desired. Refrigerate leftovers (without tomatoes).

Notes

*You can also use 1 ½ lbs of chicken breasts cooked at home. Or use three 12.5oz cans of chicken. Make sure to read the label. Here is a link to one made by Wild Planet brand whose only ingredient is chicken. Beware, it is expensive! I haven't been able to find a budget friendly Whole30/paleo canned chicken.
