If using raw chicken, season it with salt and pepper, then grill or bake until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl.
Use a fork to mash it to your desired consistency (smooth or slightly chunky).

Step 3: Combine the Ingredients

Add diced chicken, red onion, celery, and red bell pepper into the bowl with mashed avocado.

Step 4: Season to Perfection

Sprinkle in cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
If using, add Greek yogurt for an extra creamy texture.

Step 5: Mix and Taste

Gently fold all ingredients together until well combined.
Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
