Instructions

1. 1.
   Start by preparing the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed avocado, diced cherry tomatoes, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well combined. The lime juice not only adds flavor but also prevents the avocado from browning.
2. 2.
   Prepare the chicken breast by cutting a deep pocket into the side. Be careful not to slice all the way through, as the stuffing will need to stay secure inside. If the breast is too thick, flatten it gently with a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
3. 3.
   Stuff the avocado mixture into the pocket of the chicken breast. Use toothpicks to secure the opening if necessary, ensuring the filling doesn’t spill out during cooking.
4. 4.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the stuffed chicken breast in the skillet. Cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. If the chicken browns too quickly, lower the heat and cook through slowly to retain moisture.
5. 5.
   Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and juicy meat when sliced. If the chicken appears underdone, cover with aluminum foil to let it finish cooking in its own heat.
