Description

Imagine biting into a succulent, butterflied chicken breast, pan-fried to a perfect golden-brown. The simple preparation allows the natural flavors of the chicken to shine, enhanced by a light seasoning that teases the palate. The texture is divine – a crisp exterior giving way to a tender, juicy interior.

The chicken, cooked just right, promises a satisfying and wholesome experience. But the magic doesn't stop there. This delightful dish is then crowned with a generous topping of crushed avocado.

The creamy, cool avocado offers a luscious contrast to the warm chicken, creating a symphony of textures and temperatures in your mouth. Its mild, buttery flavor complements the chicken without overpowering it, adding a layer of richness and depth. A sprinkle of tangy, grated cheddar cheese adds another dimension to the flavor profile.

The sharpness of the cheddar cuts through the richness of the avocado and chicken, creating a balanced and harmonious blend. As the cheese melts slightly from the warmth of the chicken, it binds the ingredients together, adding a comforting and familiar element. Finally, a scattering of fresh scallions and aromatic cilantro elevates the dish to new heights.

The scallions provide a subtle oniony bite, while the cilantro adds a bright, citrusy note that awakens the senses. These fresh herbs not only enhance the flavor but also add a pop of color, making the dish visually appealing. This incredibly easy-to-prepare meal is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Its simplicity doesn't compromise on flavor; rather, it highlights the quality of the ingredients and the art of simple cooking. Serve it alongside a refreshing green salad or a bed of fluffy cauliflower rice for a complete and satisfying meal. The combination of flavors and textures will leave you feeling nourished and content, making it a dish you'll want to make again and again.

The vibrant colors and appealing aroma make it a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. It’s a dish that’s as enjoyable to look at as it is to eat.

Instructions

    1.
    Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise across the middle so that it opens out like a book. Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium/high heat. Season the chicken breast on each side with salt, pepper and lemon zest. Pan fry for 6 minutes on each side or until completely cooked through and the juices run clear.
    2.
    Whilst the chicken is cooking, add the avocado flesh to a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and add the lemon juice. Mash together to combine.
    3.
    Once the chicken is cooked, top with the crushed avocado.
    4.
    Sprinkle the grated cheese over the chicken with the pan still on the heat so it melts a little.
    5.
    Finely slice the scallions and chop the cilantro. Scatter over the chicken breasts to serve.
