As the weather gets warmer I want foods that are light, refreshing, and healthy. Something that I can take on a picnic in the park or to the beach. A classic chicken is great, but can sometimes feel heavy with all that mayo. So I replaced it with a mix of greek yogurt and avocado to make it lighter and healthier. The green curry and lime give it a summery, refreshing vibe that makes it perfect for a picnic or as a post workout snack.

Ingredients

1 medium avocado
½ cup greek yogurt (plain, nonfat)
1 tbsp green curry paste
Zest and juice of 1 lime
¼ cup chopped cilantro
12 oz pulled chicken breast (~2 cups)
½ cup shredded carrot
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Peel and deseed an avocado. In a large mixing bowl mash the avocado.
Add greek yogurt, curry paste, lime zest and juice, and cilantro. Mix well until it forms a consistent texture.
Mix in chicken breast and shredded carrot. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Refrigerate until ready to eat. It will last about 5 days in the fridge.
Serve in a lettuce wrap, on rice cakes, as a sandwich, or just by itself!
