This post is in collaboration with Peapod. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting our sponsors!

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to eat healthier and I didn’t start off that well. I ate a lot of nachos the first week or two but I’ve been eating better the last few weeks.

I’ve been eating more avocados – they are soooo good for you! For the longest time, I couldn’t stand avocados but I finally got over that and I want to eat them all of the time.

I’ve also been eating more vegetables. I’ve come a long way in two weeks since my New Year’s nacho phase.

Luckily for me, Peapod has so many vegetables and I can have them all delivered right to my door! When I’m short on time and don’t want to wait in long lines at the store, I order groceries from Peapod.

Peapod is the longest operating and the country’s leading Internet grocer. It was founded in 1989 and has delivered more than 40 million grocery orders. That’s a lot of groceries.

I love ordering from my computer and have also used the Peapod mobile app. I ordered all of the groceries for this recipe the night before and was able to pick a delivery window the next day that was super convenient for me.

Also, I knew I was going to be short on time so I ordered cooked rotisserie chicken breasts. Shredding them took next to no time and we were able to eat dinner in minutes.

Southwest Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocado Recipe

If you’re looking for something a little different for lunch or dinner, try this easy southwest chicken salad stuffed avocado recipe. It’s very easy to make and is perfect for those days when you’re short on time.

Start by making the southwest chicken salad. I used some rotisserie chicken breasts so I could save time by not having to cook the chicken. You could use any cooked chicken however, including canned chicken.

Combine all of the chicken salad ingredients in a medium bowl and pour the dressing on top.

To make the cilantro poblano dressing, I combined those ingredients in a food processor and then added it to the bowl. It’s a thick dressing and recommend adding a little bit at a time.

Some people like chicken salad with a lot of dressing and some don’t.

Then cut your avocados in half and remove the pit. Spoon the southwest chicken salad on top – don’t worry about it looking pretty. It’s going to be a little messy and that’s ok. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top and grab a fork.

Eat the salad with the avocados and it’s the easiest meal you could possible make.

There will probably be a little southwest chicken salad left – you could use it to make a stuffed avocado on another day.

Or, if you are a fan of lettuce wraps, you could swap out the avocado for some crisp lettuce. Bread is an option as well if that’s more to your liking.
