Avocado Stuffed Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly spritz bottom and sides of a medium baking pan with olive oil spray.
• Using a sharp knife, carefully slice into the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket but do not slice all the way through. Season the insides and outsides with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine diced avocado and the bacon. Divide the mixture in half and stuff each chicken breast. Use toothpicks to secure the pockets and place into baking pan.
• Mix together panko, mozzarella cheese, and olive oil in a small bowl. Brush 1 tablespoon pesto on top of each breast. Cover each breast with the panko mixture, pressing into the pesto so mixture adheres.
• Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts on a flat, working surface.
• Mix all the remaining ingredients together, except for the peppercorns.
• Reserve half of the mixture.
• Divide the remaining half onto the chicken breasts.
• Roll up the breasts, tucking in ends.
• Place in a lightly oiled baking dish.
• Sprinkle with the peppercorns.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 45 minutes, or until chicken is fork tender.
• Remove from oven.
• Cut each breast in half.
• Place on a platter with the reserved Avocado mixture.
• You may garnish the platter with fresh basil, lime slices, small tomatoes & avocado slices (or any of these in different combinations).
