Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 large avocados
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and coat them evenly with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 4

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until mostly smooth but slightly chunky for texture.

Step 5

Add the softened cream cheese, chopped cilantro, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese to the bowl with the avocado. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Spread the avocado and cheese mixture evenly over the marinated chicken breasts in the baking dish.

Step 7

Top the avocado mixture with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese, distributing it evenly over the chicken.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with additional chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve hot.
