Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 small Jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the green sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, cilantro, parsley, avocado, jalapeño, water, and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the chicken breasts and serve with a generous amount of green sauce drizzled on top.
