Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the turkey bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces.
- Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper (optional).
- Using the same skillet, cook the chicken breast over medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), about 6-8 minutes on each side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
- Wash the tomato and dice it into small pieces.
- Rinse and shred the lettuce if not pre-shredded.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped chicken, diced tomato, shredded lettuce, low-fat cottage cheese, and crumbled turkey bacon.
- Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.
- Scoop out some of the avocado flesh from each half to create a larger cavity for stuffing, and add the scooped-out avocado to the chicken salad mixture. Gently mix it in.
- Spoon the chicken salad mixture into the avocado halves, ensuring they are generously filled.
- Place the stuffed avocado halves on a plate.
- You can garnish with additional crumbled bacon or a sprinkle of chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips:
- Cook the turkey bacon until crispy for a better texture contrast with the creamy avocado and cottage cheese.
- You can grill or pan-sear the chicken breasts to add a bit more flavor through caramelization.
- Use ripe but firm avocados so they hold up well when stuffed.
- Dice the tomato finely to distribute its flavor more evenly throughout the salad.
- If you prefer a bit more crunch, you can add finely chopped red onion or celery to the salad mixture.
This Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocado is not only nutritious but also bursting with flavor. The combination of crispy turkey bacon, tender chicken, fresh tomatoes, and creamy cottage cheese all nestled in an avocado makes for a delightful and satisfying meal.
