WHAT KIND OF CHICKEN SHOULD I USE?
You can use canned chicken chunks in this recipe for convenience, shredded rotisserie chicken, or chopped leftover chicken. If you want a vegetarian option, feel free to leave the chicken out of this recipe.
WHY IS YOUR BALSAMIC SO THICK? HOW CAN I DO THAT?
If you want a thicker balsamic vinegar you can buy balsamic glazes in squeeze bottles or thicken your own by boiling balsamic vinegar for a few minutes until it reduces and begins to thicken.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 avocados halved and pitted
- 9 ounces chopped chicken
- 5 ounces fresh mini mozzarella balls
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves chiffonade
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon drizzle balsamic vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Scoop out some of the avocado from the pitted area to widen the “bowl” area. Place the scooped avocado into a medium-size mixing bowl. Mash it with a fork.
- Add the chicken, mozzarella, tomato, and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir it all together until everything is well mixed.
- Scoop the mixture into the avocado bowls. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
