Avocado Smothered Chicken

Step 1

Lay the chicken breast flat in a large baking dish. Season with half the salt and the pepper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Garnish with extra cilantro and sun dried tomato if desired. Serve over rice or sautéed spinach and drizzle each chicken breast with sauce. Enjoy!

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients.  Use 1 tbsp of chili sauce for a milder sauce and 2 tbsp for a spicier sauce.
