Guacamole Chicken Salad - you won't be sorry you tried this!

I am NOT on the paleo diet, but a friend of mine who is on it posted this recipe. My husband wanted to try it since he doesn't like traditional chicken salad (he hates mayo). So, we tried it, we LOVED it and have had it about twice a week for the past month. Here is our version of this recipe. You can find the original on www.thebittenword.com.
First, we grilled chicken breast chunks using the rosemary bush from our back yard as skewers (strip the leaves and VOILA!)
Let chicken cool (we grilled the day before and put it in the refrigerator to use the next day)
Chop 2 avocados, dice 3-4 roma tomatoes, 1 fresh jalapeno (deseeded), 1/4 of a white onion - put in a bowl with the chicken
Add the juice of one lime and sea salt (or regular salt) to taste
We ate this with toasted french bread rounds one day, and tortilla chips the next day. I've also made this without the chicken and I called it guaco pico. I made that up
No, it is not super low calorie, but it has some super healthy fat in there, and you can eat it as a meal, even without chips or bread if you wish. And, it gives you some fresh veggies! I do have to add that this dish is not beautiful the next day, but still delcious. So, if you make it for a party, make it the day of.
Hope you like it!

OMG! I can hardly wait to try this!!! I used to hate avocados and guacamole, but something changed last year and I can't get enough of it. My problem is finding a method of eating avocados/guacamole without using something super fatty (like tortilla chips). Why didn't I think of chicken? Brilliant!0
