INGREDIENTS FOR STOVETOP BUFFALO CHICKEN 

2 cans of chicken, drained - by using canned chicken you can easily keep the serving size low for only 1 or 2 people.  2 tablespoons of whipped cream cheese - This is just something I like to keep on hand since it comes in a container and it’s easy to spread. I also like it because it lasts longer than those 8 oz bricks of cream cheese you can purchase at the store.  Can sub Greek Yogurt if you want to make it lower in points. 2 tsps of dry Ranch seasoning mix - could also sub ranch dressing ¼ cup of cheddar Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce 

HOW TO STUFF AVOCADOS WITH BUFFALO CHICKEN 

Heat nonstick skillet to medium-low heat. Drain the canned chicken and add it to a nonstick skillet. Measure out 28 grams of whipped cream cheese and add that to the pan along with the ranch seasoning, cheddar cheese, and buffalo wing sauce. Stir everything together until it’s well combined and evenly heated through.This is kind of like a no-recipe recipe. If you add in too much of a certain ingredient or less there is no way to mess this up. Every ingredient will taste good no matter what but just make sure to not overdue the buffalo sauce. Slice an avocado in half and scoop the pit out. Spread the chicken dip on top of the avocado and Enjoy.

AVOCADO FACTS

Avocados are loaded with potassium and they contain more potassium than a banana.  People tend to think avocados are bad for you because of all the fat in them. However, avocados are low in carbs and have healthy Monounsaturated fats. Avocados are also loaded with fiber. 

HOW DO YOU KEEP AVOCADOS FRESH? 

With this dish, you are scooping the avocado right out of the shell and adding the buffalo chicken dip to it. It is an eat right away kind of food. If you are not planning to eat this stuffed avocado right away I would just keep the avocado in its shell until they are ready to eat. Avocados need some kind of acid like lemon juice or lime juice to stop them from turning brown right away.
