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
2 green apples (such as Granny Smith), cut into julienne pieces (1 1/2x1/4x1/4 inch)
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced
1/2 bulb fennel, shaved

Steps:

  • In deep 8-inch skillet, place chicken in single layer. Add broth; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, in food processor or blender, process 1 avocado, the garlic and lemon juice until smooth. While processor is running, gradually add water and oil, processing until dressing is smooth and emulsified.
  • Remove chicken from liquid to plate; shred chicken with 2 forks.

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.
