Inside Out Bacon Guacamole Chicken Bombs

The original recipe calls for chicken to be stuffed with guacamole then wrapped in bacon. On paper it sounds easy. On video it looks easy. In real life, it was a disaster. You're more than welcome to try the original version (at the link below), but if you prefer something a little simpler, might a suggest this method instead...

(Inside Out) Bacon Guacamole Chicken Bombs

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados
½ white onion, finely chopped
½ tomato, chopped
2 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
½ Tbsp. kosher salt
2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Bacon strips
1 Tbsp. canola oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Using a knife, cut around the pit of the avocado, separating the halves from each other. Remove the pit and use a spoon to scoop out the avocado. In a large bowl, combine the avocado, onion, tomato, cilantro, salt, and lime juice. Mash and stir with a fork until there are no large chunks of avocado left.

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on all sides. Slice chicken breasts in half crosswise, then cut into pieces the size of chicken strips.

Wrap each piece of chicken with one of bacon.

Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped chicken for two to three minutes on each side. Remember to cook the sides of the chicken as well. Bake for 10 minutes. Serve with guacamole.
