    Hi there! It's Megan from A Dash of Megnut here today with one of my all time favorite gluten-free lunch recipes - blueberry chicken salad stuffed avocado boats! They super simple to make with leftover cooked chicken and are a fun way to serve lunch this Spring and Summer.
    At A Dash of Megnut I'm all about the quick and easy gluten-free recipes showing you that gluten-free doesn't have to be stressful and it can be flavorful, too. These blueberry chicken salad stuffed avocado boats are just that - simple and full of flavor!

    I'm a little obsessed with avocados.
    They're delicious and can be used in so many ways, from guacamole to creamy dressings to toppings on a salad. More than that, avocados are a healthy fat which help keep me full and satisfied all day long! I'm a fan of eating avocados plain, with just a touch of salt and pepper, as part of my lunch or as a snack.
    But, sometimes I like to jazz it up a bit and STUFF my avocados with chicken salad!
    Today, I decided to make my chicken salad a little fruity and add blueberries to the recipe to give the chicken salad a really nice and bright flavor. The blueberries in this recipe also add a great texture, firm and juicy. I really like the combination of avocado and fruit, like in my apple guacamole and honey glazed salmon with avocado mango salsa.
    Blueberry chicken salad stuffed avocado boats are a great make-ahead recipe for lunches throughout the week. I just assemble the chicken salad the night before, refrigerate it, and then slice my avocado at work the next day and top with the blueberry chicken salad. So easy!

    Tips and Tricks for Blueberry Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocado Boats

    • Use a rotisserie chicken to cut down on preparation time. Just make sure your rotisserie chicken is gluten-free.
    • You can use any kind of leftover chicken you have, though chicken breast is best for this chicken salad.
    • If you don't want to serve the blueberry chicken salad in the avocado boat, another option is to slice up the avocado and serve in a lettuce wrap!
    • Chicken salad is a great way to use up leftover produce or pantry staples you have on hand. In this recipe, we used green onions and blueberries and added walnuts for a little crunch. You can try adding grapes, red onion, celery, dried cranberries, or even poppy seeds for different textures and flavors.

      I've never heard of this, I've heard of stuffed bell pepper before and those are great. So I'd love to try this, because avocado is one of my favorites! Thanks for sharing.

      This looks like an amazing recipe, I may try on a bed of kale as I'm not fond of avocados.
