High Protein Chicken Salad

This high protein chicken salad is creamy and comes together in minutes with canned chicken, Greek Yogurt, and mashed avocado with room to add more. It’s fresh, zippy from the lime and yogurt, and you can toss in tomatoes, cucumbers, or jalapeños if you’re good. Serve it however you want, on greens, in a wrap, or straight outta the bowl with a fork.
