Avocado Chicken Salad

This Avocado Chicken Salad is a flavor-packed, hearty dish that’s as satisfying as it is fresh. The star of the show is the honey mustard marinade and dressing—a perfectly balanced blend of sweet honey, tangy mustard, and garlic. It does double duty as a marinade for the juicy chicken and a drizzle over the salad. I love how every bite is a blend of textures and tastes. This salad is perfect as a main dish for lunch or dinner and is just as impressive served at a gathering!
