Chicken And Avocado Crepes Recipes

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!

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.

GRILLED CALIFORNIA AVOCADO CHICKEN
