Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 pieces ripe avocados
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 piece lime, juiced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, lime juice, and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Drizzle this mixture over the seared chicken breasts in the skillet.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

While the chicken is baking, prepare the avocado topping. Scoop the flesh of the avocados into a bowl and lightly mash with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture. Stir in the chopped cilantro and a pinch of salt to taste.

Step 7

Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Top each chicken breast with a generous spoonful of the avocado mixture and serve immediately. Garnish with extra chopped cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
