Healthy chicken and avocado spread. Good with crackers or on a sandwich!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m not a fan of “diet” foods or even the words low-fat, low-calorie, gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, free, free, free equals no taste at all in my opinion.<\/p>\n

Remember the “fat-free” phase when it started? I think people gained more weight on “fat-free” product than eating normal products. Then you take gluten-free bread. I haven’t met one yet that I like; I’d rather do without. And, when it goes to vegan; who wants to give up soft creamy butter smeared on a piece of freshly baked bread right out of the oven — NOT ME. Life is too short to do without. Sure we could all cut back some place but where taste is concerned I want the real deal and maybe just not eat as much of the item.<\/p>\n

I ran across this chicken spread on pinterest and is one of Haylie Pomroy’s recipe and as usual I though I’d make a few changes so I added jalape\u00f1o and some chopped tomato and some chile powder. It was really a good spread and I would probably like it better eater with a NORMAL cracker (even a good gluten free cracker) and not the “giraffe style” Wasa crackers I ate mine with.<\/p>\n

This would also be great stuffed in endive leaves or little butter lettuce leaves or even stuffed into those tiny red-orange-yellow bell pepper type peppers. Hope you will give it a try and feel free to add as much avocado as you want. This has no mayo so if you need more moisture, then add more avocado or add some mayonnaise.<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST<\/strong><\/span>: Shrimp and White Bean Pizza<\/a> is one of my favorite pizzas to do on the Kimodo Jim smoker. The smoker will get up to 700-800\u00b0 and cooks the pizza in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Chop the chicken up small. I don’t like the job that my favorite tool did; hand chopping or pulsing a few times in food processor would be much better.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7417\"<\/p>\n

Add the jalape\u00f1os in with the chicken and chop at the same time.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7418\"<\/p>\n

Mash the avocado by hand or give a few spins in your chopper if you have one.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7419\"<\/p>\n

Zest the lime and then squeeze juice.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7420\"<\/p>\n

To the chopped chicken add the avocado, lime, zest and seasoning. Stir in the red onion and the chopped tomatoes. Salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n
