Popcorn Chicken & Bacon Jam Tacos

with Avocado, Deluxe Salad & Sour Cream

This week’s special ingredient is Avocado - creamy, dreamy and packed with goodness! Give your avocado a gentle squeeze - ripe avocados yield slightly but aren’t mushy! If yours is firm, let it ripen on the bench (not the fridge!) until it’s just right. Add this special ingredient to your popcorn chicken tacos tonight and truly take dinnertime to new heights!

• Cut cucumber into thin sticks.Slice avocado in 
half, scoop out flesh and thinly slice. Thinly slice

• Wash out frying pan and return to medium-high 
heat with enough olive oil to coat the base.
• When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour from 
chicken, then cook, tossing occasionally, until 
browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes.
• Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. 


TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer 
pink inside.

• Meanwhile, in a second medium bowl, combine 
deluxe salad mix and a drizzle of white wine
vinegar and olive oil. Season generously with 
salt and pepper.
