Number Of Ingredients 13

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4 oz each)
1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth (4 cups)
1 avocado
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (2 medium)
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 cups spring mix salad greens
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme

1 avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced
1/2 bulb fennel, shaved

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bacon. I always have some in the fridge, so this is a go-to recipe for me.

I'm not usually a fan of avocado, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing was so good that I could have eaten it on its own.
