Instructions:

- Scoop out some of the avocado flesh from each half to create a larger cavity for stuffing, and add the scooped-out avocado to the chicken salad mixture. Gently mix it in.
- Spoon the chicken salad mixture into the avocado halves, ensuring they are generously filled.
- Place the stuffed avocado halves on a plate.
- You can garnish with additional crumbled bacon or a sprinkle of chopped parsley if desired.
