This is a delicious alternative to chicken salad made with mayonnaise. I demonstrated making this dish at the Tastes of the Alleghenies back in February.

  1. Poach and cool the chicken breasts, shread into pieces, and place in a large bowl.
  2. Add diced peppers, celery and spinach leaves. Mix well with a spoon.
  3. Add the cubed avocado; and mash the avocado into the chicken and vegetable mixture, stirring and mashing until you have a slightly smooth consistency.
  4. Add the chili powder, garlic, onion, salt and black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Serve on romaine lettuce leaves, unsalted rice cakes or toasted gluten-free whole grain bread. (If I'm eating it on gluten-free sandwich bread, I lay a few whole spinach leaves on top before I lid it.)
