Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1/2 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the shredded cooked chicken. Pour in the basil pesto and mix well to combine. Then, add the halved cherry tomatoes and shredded mozzarella cheese. Drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir all the ingredients together until they are evenly incorporated.

    Prepare the Avocados: Carefully slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Using a spoon, gently scoop out a small portion of the flesh from each half to create enough space for the filling, being careful not to break the avocado skin.

      Stuff the Avocados: Generously spoon the pesto chicken mixture into the hollowed-out halves of the avocados, ensuring each half is filled to the brim with the flavorful filling.

        Plate the Dish: Arrange the stuffed avocados neatly on a serving platter. For added visual appeal, drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top and sprinkle some additional shredded mozzarella cheese.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing each stuffed avocado with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately for a delightful, refreshing meal, or chill for a few minutes in the refrigerator and serve as an inviting appetizer for gatherings!
