Guacamole Stuffed Chicken

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 avocado (mashed)
• 1 tomato (diced)
• 2 garlic cloves (finely chopped or crushed)
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• lime juice
• cumin
• salt
• pepper
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, thawed
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese (sliced or shredded)

Recipe

• 1 note: i served this dish with brown rice. if that's what you choose i recommend starting the chicken and rice at the same time as they both take ~40 minutes to cook. another alternative to cooking it separately is to bake the dish with the rice - add extra salsa for moisture.
• 2 combine avocado, tomato, garlic, vinegar and lime juice in small bowl. season to taste (~1/8 tsp cumin, dash of salt, dash of pepper).
• 3 slice chicken lengthwise, leaving some in-tact at the ends (like a pita), or slice in half lengthwise and tenderize.
• 4 stuff liberally with guacamole, or wrap tenderized chicken around guacamole and hold with a toothpick.
• 5 place chicken in glass baking dish, cover with salsa.
• 6 scatter cheese on top (if you prefer melted cheese instead of crispy, add 10 minutes before removing chicken from the oven).
• 7 bake at 450 f for 40 - 45 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked. chicken should cool slightly before being served.
