Avocado and Bacon Chicken Salad

This Avocado and Bacon Chicken Salad recipe is the best chicken salad recipe ever! It’s great on rolls, stuffed into an avocado or served over lettuce.  

The best chicken salad recipe ever! You've got to try this Avocado and Bacon Chicken Salad- it's great on rolls, stuffed into an avocado or just served over lettuce.

We just got home from one of the best vacations ever!  The kids and I spent several days by ourselves in a beachfront hotel.  On Saturday, my hubby flew in to meet us and we drove about 45 minutes down the coast to a new location where we stayed another 6 days.

Eating out while on such a long trip can get expensive, so we always try to stay at hotels with a kitchen so we can go to Walmart for groceries and prepare the majority of our meals.  You’d be surprised at the variety of meals you can come up with around a few basic ingredients like chicken, eggs, beans, avocados and tortillas.

One of our favorites dishes from the trip was this Avocado and Bacon Chicken Salad recipe.  It’s so easy to make!

The kids went crazy over it when I served it on freshly baked croissant rolls while the hubby and I usually ate it over lettuce (just mix it the chicken salad right into the lettuce- no additional dressing needed.) Other times we served it stuffed into an avocado.

What makes this chicken salad extra special?

Why is this chicken salad recipe so great? It’s the addition of the avocado and of course, the BACON!  (Bacon makes everything better.)  Thank you to Tyson Foods for sponsoring this post. All opinions are entirely my own. 

On my last trip to the grocery store, I bought the Jimmy Dean® Hickory Smoked Bacon.  So good!  They also have an Applewood Smoked Bacon that would be really good in a breakfast casserole- I’m definitely going to have to try that next.

Doesn’t that look good?  Who doesn’t love bacon?

Best chicken salad recipe ever! You've got to try this Avocado and Bacon Chicken Salad.

Recipe suggestions:  

You can eat the chicken salad right away, but for the best flavor make it at least 30 minutes ahead to allow time for all the flavors to combine!  

If making sandwiches, the addition of a sliced tomato is even better.
