Chef's Tips:

  • • For best results, chill all ingredients before assembling
  • • Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning
  • • You can prep all components ahead and assemble when ready to serve
  • • For extra flavor, marinate chicken in herbs and olive oil for 30 minutes before grilling
