How to Make Avocado Chicken Salad

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the seasoned chicken breasts into a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.
Once cooled, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, mix together the diced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and cubed avocados.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss everything together.
Enjoy the salad chilled or at room temperature.
