ingredients
8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup ripe avocado
1 plum tomato, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon diced roasted red pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon grated lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon chile paste or hot sauce
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and place in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the oven and let cool completely. Cut into 1/4-inch cubes or shred it with two forks.
Peel and cube the avocado and place in a bowl with the chicken, tomato, roasted red pepper, oregano, cumin, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, and chile paste. Mix gently, you want some avocado chunks to remain.
Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve with tortilla chips or pita wedges.
common recipe questions
Can I use bone-in chicken breast instead of boneless for this recipe? Or can I use chicken thighs?
Yes, you can use bone-in chicken, but it will add to the cooking time as bone-in chicken typically takes longer to cook than boneless. Also, you will need to remove the bones before cutting it into cubes or shredding it. You can also use chicken thighs, just adjust for the cooking time.
What type of tomato is a plum tomato and can I use another variety?
A plum tomato is a type of tomato that's oval or egg-shaped and has fewer seeds, which makes it great for recipes like guacamole. However, you can also use other types of tomatoes if plum tomatoes aren't available. Just make sure to seed them to prevent the guacamole from becoming too watery.
Can I use fresh oregano instead of dried oregano?
Yes, you can use fresh oregano. However, keep in mind that fresh herbs are less potent than dried, so you'll need to use about three times the amount.
How essential is the fresh cilantro to the taste of this dish?
Fresh cilantro adds a distinctive, fresh flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients. If you're not a fan of cilantro, you can reduce the amount or omit it, but it does contribute to the overall success of the dish.
