How to make it
- 1
Pat your chicken thighs dry and season them well with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet over medium high heat, add a splash of oil (your choice, like avocado or olive oil). Once hot, add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until they are beautifully golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet, stirring until it melts into a smooth, luscious base.
- 4
Squeeze the juice from both limes directly into the cream cheese sauce. Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro until everything is nicely combined and fragrant.

Return the cooked chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Slice the ripe avocados into chunks and gently stir them into the skillet just before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
