Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

2 avocados, ripe and pitted

1 cup fresh parsley, tightly packed

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, tightly packed

2 garlic cloves

1 small red chili, deseeded (optional for heat)

Juice of 1 lime

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and they are golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest.

Make the Avocado Chimichurri: In a food processor, combine the avocados, parsley, cilantro, garlic, chili (if using), lime juice, ground cumin, and red pepper flakes. Pulse until smooth but still slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Plate the Dish: Slice the rested chicken breasts diagonally. Arrange the slices on plates and generously spoon the avocado chimichurri over the top.

Serve: Enjoy this zesty dish warm, with a side of rice or a fresh green salad if desired.
