Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Sear the chicken breasts for 3 minutes on each side, until golden but not cooked through.
Step 6
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
While the chicken bakes, prepare the avocado topping. In a medium bowl, combine diced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocados.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Top each chicken breast with a generous scoop of the avocado mixture.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and delicious Peter's Avocado Chicken!
