Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season raw chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then grill or cook until fully done. If using pre-cooked chicken, shred or slice it.
- Mash the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon or lime juice, salt, and garlic powder for added flavor.

- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve with chips, salad, or soup.
