Cook or Prep the Chicken:
Prepare the chicken, using your favorite method. If poaching the chicken: Simmer the chicken breasts in salted water for 15 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C). Let cool; shred.
Salad:
In a large bowl, add the cooked chicken, avocado, red onion, celery, tomatoes, cucumber, and herbs. Squeeze in fresh lime or lemon juice. Add salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
Gently mash and stir until the avocado binds the mixture, until it's your preferred texture, chunky or creamy.
Serve immediately alone, in lettuce cups, on whole grain bread, in a wrap, or over a bed of greens.
3-4 servings.
