Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Avocado Mayo

I bought an avocado for another recipe and then realized I didn’t need it like I thought I did. Now I had no place for it, I started to think about what else I could do with it. The idea of trying to make it into a spreadable mayo-like substance was intriguing, but I wasn’t sure what to do with it after that. Chicken Salad is always a nice light lunch so that’s ultimately what I turned to.

I listed a sous vide as an optional piece of equipment. That’s just my preferred way to cook the chicken breasts if I am doing them on their own with nothing else, but any method will work. In fact I’m sure this would be equally delicious with a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
