Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups grilled chicken, diced Provides protein and a savory kick; swap for shredded rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep.

  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced Contributes a fresh crunch; feel free to mix colors for visual appeal.
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced Gives a bite and color; use green onions as a milder alternative.
  • 1 avocado, diced Offers creaminess; substitute with a dollop of guacamole for an extra zing.
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped Infuses a refreshing herbaceous note; parsley can be used if you’re not a cilantro fan.
  • 1 lime, juiced Brightens the dish; a splash of vinegar works in a pinch.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt Adds creaminess and tang; swap for a dairy-free yogurt if needed.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste Essential for flavor enhancement; Himalayan salt can add a unique flavor twist.
  • Tortilla chips or rice for serving Provides a base; choose brown rice for a healthy alternative.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the grilled chicken, corn, bell peppers, red onion, avocado, and cilantro.
  2. Squeeze lime juice over the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Serve the mixture in bowls over tortilla chips or rice, topped with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Keep the avocado separate until ready to serve to prevent browning. Consider marinating chicken beforehand for deeper flavor.
