Instructions

Begin by draining the canned chicken and placing it in a large mixing bowl. Shred the chicken with a fork until it's finely shredded.

2

Next, add the diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion to the bowl. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture to add brightness and prevent the avocado from browning.

3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, chili flakes, and a pinch of salt to create the spicy honey drizzle.

4

Pour the drizzle over the chicken and vegetable mixture, and gently toss everything together until well combined.

5

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed. Serve the salad on a bed of mixed greens for added crunch and nutrition.

6

Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra pop of flavor. Enjoy your zesty canned chicken salad as a light lunch or a satisfying dinner option!
