Enjoy a creamy, savory delight that brings together the richness of avocado and the tenderness of chicken, making it a perfect dish for a quick yet satisfying dinner tonight!

1

Begin by marinating the chicken breasts. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, crushed garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper together. Coat the chicken breasts in this marinade and let it sit for about 10 minutes.

2

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the avocado. Cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash it slightly with a fork, and add a pinch of salt and some chopped cilantro for flavor. Set this aside.

3

In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (75 degrees Celsius).

4

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it.

5

To serve, place the sliced chicken on a plate, add a generous scoop of the mashed avocado on top, and garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
