    Simple Avocado Bacon Corn Chicken Salad

    I’m all about lazy salads with avocados. This salad is one of my favourite “lazy” ones as most of these ingredients are stuff I have in my fridge/freezer on a regular basis. It’s a fun and delicious way to jazz up leftover chicken. It works great as a side dish or just a main meal if you’d like!

    My favourite parts about this salad is the crispy bacon and corn because it adds a nice crisp crunch to the salad. While you can grill the corn for this recipe, I love roasting it in the oven. While fresh corn on the cob may not be available, I’ll be sharing how I do this with frozen corn as there’s always a bag in the freezer!

    What You’ll Need To Make This

    • leftover shredded chicken
    • cooked bacon: you can cook it at the same time as roasting the frozen corn as they both require a 400F temp. For the bacon, pull it out after 15-18 minutes.
    • frozen corn
    • butter
    • sweet or smoked paprika
    • avocado
    • olive oil
    • lime juice
    • salt

    How To Make Crispy Corn Kernels from Frozen Corn

    • On a sheet pan, spread out the frozen corn kernels in a single layer, sprinkle on the paprika, and place the divided up butter evenly across the corn.
    • Roast in a 400F oven for 20-30 minutes or until it has crisped up, making sure to stir it every 5-10 minutes.

    How To Put Together this Easy Avocado Bacon Corn Chicken Salad

    • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, bacon, corn, and avocado.
    • Combine olive oil, lime juice, and salt before drizzling it onto the salad. Toss to combine.
    • Serve immediately.

    Recipe Variations

    • add in red onions
    • add in grape tomatoes
    • add in fresh herbs
    • grill the corn instead
    • add a bed of greens to this such as arugula or spinach

    Tips and Notes

    • Sometimes, to make the corn even crispier, after the bacon has finished up in the oven, I pour the bacon fat into the roasting corn! Bonus flavour!
