Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast on a plate and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F/74°C). Let rest 5 minutes, then shred with two forks.
  2. Step 2: Cook 4 bacon slices in the same skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until crisp. Drain on paper towels, then crumble into small pieces.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Whisk until smooth and emulsified.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold shredded chicken, 1 diced large avocado, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 1 tbsp chopped chives, and 1/4 cup crumbled bacon into the dressing until evenly coated.
  5. Step 5: Chill for 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve immediately as a main course or over greens.
