Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a baking dish with olive oil.
Place the chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Sprinkle this seasoning evenly over the chicken breasts.
Bake the seasoned chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
Remove the chicken from the oven after 15 minutes, and spread the avocado mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the avocado-topped chicken breasts.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired, and enjoy your low-fat, cheesy avocado chicken bake!
