Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub the seasonings into the chicken to coat evenly.
Step 3
Bake the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 4
While the chicken is baking, prepare the green sauce. In a food processor or blender, combine parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, lime juice, garlic cloves, avocado, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 5
Blend the mixture while gradually adding water until you reach a smooth sauce consistency. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste.
Step 6
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
Step 7
Serve the chicken slices with a generous drizzle of the green sauce over the top. Enjoy your Paleo-friendly meal with a side of your choice, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
