Chicken Stuffed Baked Avocados image

This is a recipe that I hope gets passed down. Everyone seems to like it. We make it as a main dish when I make it with chicken. We also make it a side when omitting the chicken. We will then have grilled chicken with it.

CHICKEN WITH AVOCADO



Chicken with Avocado image

Just a good recipe I have and like to use, especially since avocados are fabulous here in southern California. Pretty easy to cook too. It's good served over a bed of rice too.

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 cup yellow cornmeal
4 pieces chicken breasts
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 avocado
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
4 teaspoons sour cream
1/4 cup sliced scallion top
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, tops

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Combine the cornstarch, cumin, and garlic salt in a shallow dish and set aside.
  • Beat the egg along with the water and place in a shallow dish.
  • Put the cornmeal in a shallow dish.
  • Coat the chicken in the cornstarch mix, followed by the egg mixture, and finally coat with the cornmeal.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and place the chicken in it in a single layer, cooking about 4 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and place in a shallow baking dish.
  • Cut the avocado in half (removing the pit of course), and then cut into quarters.
  • Finally cut the avocados into slices about 1/4-1/2 inch wide (I like to have at least 3 slices for each chicken breast.) Place the avocado slices over the chicken and then sprinkle the cheese evenly over the chicken.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is well melted.
  • Serve each piece with about a tsp of sour cream on top and sprinkled with the chopped scallions and bell peppers.
