Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket without cutting through the bottom.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine mashed avocado, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, minced garlic, lemon zest, thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper; mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Spoon 2 tablespoons of the avocado mixture into each chicken pocket, pressing gently to fill. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  4. Step 4: Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and season with additional salt and pepper. Bake for 25-28 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and edges are golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing, allowing the filling to set and juices to redistribute.
