Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocados
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop out a small amount of the flesh from each half to create a larger cavity for the filling.
Chop the scooped-out avocado flesh into small pieces and place them in a bowl.
Add the cooked chicken breast (shredded or chopped), shredded cheddar cheese, diced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the avocado. Mix well.
Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the mixture and stir to combine.
Brush the outside of each avocado half with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
Spoon the filling evenly into the cavities of the avocado halves.
Place the stuffed avocados on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and garnish with extra cilantro and a wedge of lime, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
