Follow these simple steps to create your own Chicken Stuffed Baked Avocados:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Using a spoon, carefully scoop out some of the flesh from the center of each avocado half and place it in a mixing bowl. Add the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
Spoon generous amounts of the chicken mixture into the wells of each avocado half. Top each stuffed avocado with a generous amount of shredded Parmesan cheese. Placing the avocado halves face-up in muffin cups will help stabilize them during the baking process.
Bake the avocados in the preheated oven for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
Cook's Notes:- For a delightful variation, you can substitute 6 ounces of drained crab meat (canned or fresh) for the chicken. Add 1 tablespoon of scallions for an extra burst of flavor.
- Leftover chicken mixture can be utilized by filling hollowed-out tomatoes or peppers and cooked in the same way.
- The cooking time and flavor of the dish may vary depending on how the chicken is cooked (grilled, broiled, or stewed).Nutritional Information:Each serving of Chicken Stuffed Baked Avocados provides approximately 334 calories.
