Gluten Free Spice Dusted Chicken With Creamy Avocado Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Pound chicken to 1/2 inch thickness.
• Heat oil in a large skillet.
• Sprinkle chicken with cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper.
• Place chicken and garlic in skillet and cook over medium-high heat, 2 minutes per side.
• Add tomatoes; cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to serving platter; keep warm.
• Cook juices in skillet over high heat until thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low; stir in sour cream, avocado, and cilantro until well blended.
• Pour over chicken.
• Serve over hot cooked linguine.

Steps:

• Bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir quinoa into the broth and bring again to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and broth has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Stir scallions and 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice into the quinoa.
• Mix paprika, cumin, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sea salt together in a small bowl; rub onto chicken breasts to season completely.
• Prepare a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
• Lay chicken breasts into the hot skillet, cover skillet with a lid, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Blend avocado, yogurt, 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, and garlic powder in a food processor until smooth.
• Spread quinoa onto a serving platter. Arrange chicken breasts onto the platter. Drizzle avocado cream sauce over the chicken breasts.

Steps:

• Mix 2 Tbsp. each dressing and salsa until blended. Pour over chicken in shallow dish; turn to evenly coat both sides of chicken breasts with dressing mixture. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate.
• Meanwhile, cook rice as directed on package, using 1-1/2 cups water and omitting the salt.
• Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Cook chicken in large nonstick skillet on medium heat 6 to 8 min. on each side or until done (165ºF). Remove chicken from skillet; cover to keep warm. Add tomatoes to skillet; cook 3 min. or until tomatoes start to burst, stirring frequently.
• Blend avocado with remaining dressing, remaining salsa and 1/4 cup cilantro in blender until smooth, gradually adding remaining water if necessary until sauce is desired drizzling consistency.
• Add remaining cilantro to rice; mix well. Top with chicken and avocado sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine almond meal, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper together in a resealable bag. Put each chicken thigh into bag, 1 at a time; close bag and shake until evenly coated. Place chicken in a glass baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
