Low-Calorie Avocado Chicken Salad

I am absolutely obsessed with Avocados. Seriously. Ask anyone. I will eat a whole avocado with some salt and pepper as a snack. So of course, I try to find any way to incorporate more avocado in to my diet. This recipe is super quick and easy, not to mention healthy. I like to make it in the morning and then bring it with me to eat at work. 

My favorite way to enjoy this chicken salad is in a sandwich between two pieces of Sara Lee 45 Calorie bread with Sea Salt & Pepper Rice Thins (pictured above). BONUS: That whole meal is only 280 calories!
