- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 avocado diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped or 2 teaspoons dried parsley (optional)

Notes
-
- If there is a vegetable your kids don’t like, dice it up really finely. My kids are not fans of onion, so I dice it really small and they eat it up.
- Make sure to add the avocados last, so they don't get smashed.
- Cook the chicken in a slow cooker for easy meal prep. Cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 F degrees and is easily shreddable with a fork.
- Serve on top of a bed of romaine lettuce, on a slice of no-knead sourdough bread, or wrapped in a sourdough tortilla.
