Avocado Chicken Salad (with Bonus Keto Roll Recipe!)
I love simple keto lunch ideas!
If you’re avocado obsessed like me, this 4-ingredient Avocado Chicken Salad is a delicious and extremely easy idea. Served on top on Fat Head keto-friendly bread (recipe below), this might just become your most favorite low carb sandwich!
Hip Tip: Sometimes I use shredded rotisserie chicken to make this salad or canned chicken from the pantry for convenience. You can definitely season it however you’d like, throw in any additional add-ins that sound yummy, and change up the fresh herbs in case you’re not a fan of cilantro.

Here’s a brilliant low-carb, keto-approved sandwich idea!
Make a batch of Fat Head dough, then divide the dough into fourths and roll into balls. Smash them down a little, and bake them on a parchment paper-covered pan for about 13-15 minutes at 400 degrees. Then serve as sandwiches! SO good.
These sandwiches are SOOOOOO yummy!
My family is avocado obsessed! I love that you can serve this idea in so many different ways and each one is delicious! Such a simple and easy meal. Enjoy!
How do you make the bread ? Is it different than the pizza recipe
Same recipe and I just made rolls instead of pizza. Hope that helps! Here’s a link to the fathead dough recipe – https://hip2keto.com/recipes/fat-head-pizza-crust-recipe/
Does the nutrition facts include the bread?
Hi Brandy, so sorry for the very late reply. Not sure how we missed this question. The nutrition does not include the roll – just the chicken salad. You can view the nutrition info for the fathead dough here – https://hip2keto.com/recipes/fat-head-pizza-crust-recipe/
Do these rolls freeze well?
Yes I’m sure they would. 👍
Since there are only 2 of us at home, I freeze the dough and/or the rolls. Works great!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing with us! Good to know that has worked well for you!
I just made this and thought it was very bland. I even salted it. Disappointed.
Hi Sue! So sorry you weren’t a fan of this recipe. You could try adding a small amount of lime juice or finely chopped red onion to punch up the flavor a little. Hope that helps!
