A delightful twist on stuffed chicken, featuring creamy avocado and fresh basil for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture.
Place the chicken breasts on a flat surface and gently pound them to an even thickness.
Even thickness helps the chicken cook uniformly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the avocado, lime juice, lemon pepper, garlic powder, basil leaves, tomatoes, and onion.
Mash the avocado slightly for a creamy texture.
Reserve half of the stuffing mixture for serving.
This reserved mixture will enhance the dish's presentation.
Divide the remaining stuffing onto the chicken breasts and roll them up, securing with toothpicks if needed.
Ensure the stuffing is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Place the rolled chicken breasts in a lightly oiled baking dish and sprinkle with crushed peppercorns.
Lightly oiling the dish prevents sticking and aids in cleanup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
Slice each chicken breast in half and serve with the reserved stuffing mixture.
Garnish with additional basil leaves or lime slices for a fresh look.
