Sriracha Avocado Chicken Salad is packed with creamy avocados, spicy Sriracha and tender chicken breasts to create this addictively delicious salad recipe!
Lunch time is my favorite meal of the day, I love salads and sandwiches and never get bored of either. I especially love chicken salads. I think I make a new version weekly. Lately my obsession is this Avocado Chicken Salad. It’s simple. Chicken, avocado, lime juice, and a bit of salt. To kick it up I dump half a bottle of sriracha on top. Sriracha makes it into 2/3 of my daily meals. I LOOOOVE the stuff. If you have never had it, it’s a Thia style chili sauce that can be found in most ethnic food isles. If you like a little heat added to your foods, check it out.

i’m very allergic to avocado. do you have a suggestion on what to replace it?
Try mango!!
hiya buddy!
Thanks for your comment buddy!
Firstly, these photos are incredible, and secondly, this chicken salad really looks very delicious. I really want to try this recipe but I have never seen a Sriracha hot chili in the supermarket nearest us. May I ask what good substitute for this? Thank you.
Well one option is to purchase it online – it really is that good. Alternatively, you can find it at Asian or international markets. If you can’t find it – any hot sauce will work!!
I would like to know how people have prepared the chicken for this recipie. It looks and sounds awesome and heathly.
Great question Belinda!! I would certainly say that this is great for leftover grilled chicken breasts, poached chicken breasts, baked chicken breasts – you name it!
All of my favorite things. Making chicken now, this is lunch tomorrow! Thank you!
Love this! I’m not usually a fan of chicken salad but this version would definitely work for me!
I go in waves with chicken salad but something tells me this version will be a regular craving. :)
The bright red sriracha against the green salad looks beautiful!! Love the spicy kick!
I do too!! Can’t wait to make it myself. :)
This chicken salad looks awesome!! Sriracha makes everything better! :)

Carrie, this looks great! I’ve recently gotten into the flavor behind the heat of sriracha sauce, and I bet it really adds to this salad.
