Jalapeño-Cilantro Chicken Salad

Lunch is a meal that I often get bored with. We eat leftovers or a sandwich, or Trader Joe's vegetable fried rice, yum! I still get tired with those simple choices. I know I could take the time out and make something amazing, but I like to save that for dinner :) This chicken salad is perfect for lunch, I made it in the beginning of the week and enjoyed it for 3 different days. 

You can adjust the spices and seasonings to add something you love or take out something you don't love, but I thought it was pretty perfect. Speaking of perfect, serving it in an avocado so you could have a spoonful of avocado and spicy chicken salad in every bite, is amazing. Take my word for it. You can easily cut his recipe in half.
