Jalapeno Guacamole Chicken

Ingredients
2 jalapeno peppers
2 chicken breasts
4 slices cheddar cheese
1 avocado
1 tomato
1 teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cilantro
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions
Slice the chicken breasts in half, length-wise; season with taco seasoning.

Prepare the guacamole by peeling and mashing the avocado. Chop 1 jalapeno pepper and the tomato; add to the avocado mash. Add cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Heat a frying pan on high heat. Add seasoned chicken breasts and sear, about 1-2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the middle, about 5-6 minutes each.

Slice remaining jalapeno pepper into rings and cover chicken breasts. Top jalapeno peppers with cheddar cheese. Cover pan and heat until cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy!
Yield: 4 servings

Note: Seeding peppers will reduce their heat. Wear gloves when cutting peppers if your skin is sensitive.

Quick tip: Easily remove an avocado pit by sharply striking pit with the cutting edge of a chef knife, slightly embedding the knife blade. Twist the knife right or left and remove pit. Scoop out fruit with a spoon. (Surprise! Avocado is a fruit. :) )
