Chicken Avocado Cheese Bake Recipes

GRILLED CALIFORNIA AVOCADO CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl whisk the balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat. Marinate for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl add the avocado, tomato, basil and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Heat the grill to medium high heat. Grill the chicken on each side about 6 minutes or until cooked throughout and no longer pink. Top with mozzarella cheese and avocado, tomato basil mixture. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and serve immediately.

CHICKEN STUFFED BAKED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Scoop out some of the flesh in the center of each avocado; place into mixing bowl. Add chicken, cream cheese, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper; mix well to combine. Scoop spoonfuls of chicken mixture into the wells of each avocado; top each with generous amount of Parmesan cheese. Place avocado halves, face-up, in muffin cups to stabilize.
• Bake avocados in preheated oven until cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.

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!
