SPICY AVOCADO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Stir 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl; rub evenly into the chicken breasts.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the chicken in the heated oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Stir the onion, lime juice, and avocado together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spoon over the chicken breasts to serve.

AVOCADO SMOTHERED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Lay the chicken breast flat in a large baking dish. Season with half the salt and the pepper.
• In a bowl, combine the avocado, sun dried tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and the remaining salt. Stir, mashing the avocado and mixing everything together, until combined with chunks of avocado remaining.
• Spread the avocado mixture on top of each chicken breast to cover. Top with the shredded cheese. Bake covered with foil at 375˚F for 25-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Optional: remove the foil for the last 3-5 minutes and set the oven to broil to brown the cheese.
• Garnish with extra cilantro and sun dried tomato if desired. Serve over rice or sautéed spinach and drizzle each chicken breast with sauce. Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND AVOCADO SOUP

• In four bowls, fill each with 1/2 cup chicken, 1/2 avocado, remainder of the scallions, and cilantro. Ladle 1 cup chicken broth over the chicken and serve with a lime wedge.

AVOCADO CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Dice or shred the 2 large cooked chicken breasts and place into a large mixing bowl.
• Peel and pit 2 large avocados, slice into bite-sized pieces and add to the mixing bowl.
• Add 1 cup of cooked corn (freshly cooked corn is best), toss in 1/4 cup chopped green onion, chopped bacon, and 2 Tbsp fresh Dill.

AVOCADO CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• For the pickled onions: Place the sliced onion in a heatproof container. Bring the vinegar, water, honey, salt, red pepper flakes and cumin to a boil in small saucepan. Pour the mixture over sliced onions and stir. Cool, cover and refrigerate for 2 days. Makes about 1 cup of pickled onions.
• For the tomato braised chicken: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Toss together the chicken thighs, tomato, garlic, vinegar, parsley, olive oil, paprika and pepperoncini in a large baking dish and cover. Bake until the chicken is tender and easily shredded, 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle shred with a fork. Makes about 4 cups of chicken mixture.
• For the avocado sauce: Combine the coconut milk, cilantro, lime juice, avocado and jalapeno in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Makes about 1 cup.
• For the pizza: Adjust oven rack to the bottom position with a pizza stone. Preheat the oven to 450 to 500 degrees F. Make the first pizza: spread half of the avocado sauce over a dough round. Sprinkle on half of the shredded mozzarella. Scatter half each of the chicken, black beans and corn over the mozzarella. Add half the pickled onions and finish with half of the Cheddar. Transfer to the preheated stone and bake until golden, crisp and bubbly. Sprinkle with half the cilantro and serve with 2 lime wedges. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make another pizza.
