Notes
Buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and shred the chicken breast from it. No cooking time needed!
If your avocado isn't ripe enough, you can speed up the process by putting it in a brown paper bag with a banana or apple.
Leave the cream cheese out at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before you make this recipe. If it is softer, it will be easier to mix.
The dish tastes the best when it is fresh out of the oven. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
