⏱️ Cooking Time: 20 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the diced chicken breast and chipotle in adobo sauce. Mix well to ensure each piece is coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse deeply.
  2. 2.
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a smoky, golden exterior. If the pan starts to smoke, lower the heat slightly.
  3. 3.
    While the chicken cooks, prepare the avocado and cherry tomatoes. Carefully slice the avocado and set aside. Halve the cherry tomatoes, ensuring they are roughly equal in size for even cooking and blending of flavors.
  4. 4.
    Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. In the same skillet, add the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until they begin to soften and release their juices, creating a light sauce.
  5. 5.
    To assemble, place the cooked chicken on a plate, top with the warm cherry tomatoes, and arrange the sliced avocado on the side. Serve immediately while the dish is warm for the best flavor and texture.
