Here's what you need: ripe avocado, oil, mango, red onion, jalapeño, fresh cilantro, fresh lime juice, salt

Provided by Joey Firoben

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ripe avocado
oil, for brushing
1 mango, peeled and diced
¼ red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño, deseeded and finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat gas grill on high heat.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the avocados in half by cutting in a straight line around the pit.
  • Place the avocado half containing the pit in your hand and face it away from you. Gently stick the tip of the knife into the side of the pit and carefully pry it out of the avocado.

  • Place the avocados on the grill, flesh side down, and grill for 3-4 minutes, until grill marks appear.

  • In a small bowl, mix the mango, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, and salt until well combined.
  • Spoon the salsa into the avocados and serve.

SALSA-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH AVOCADO RECIPE BY TASTY



Salsa-Braised Chicken With Avocado Recipe by Tasty image

Store-bought salsa gets a glow-up in this easy braised chicken recipe. Chicken thighs are browned until crispy, then baked in a salsa verde and white wine sauce until tender all the way through. Topped with cilantro and avocado, this dish is as fresh as it is easy to make!

Provided by Tikeyah Whittle

Categories     Lunch

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup white wine
3 cups store bought salsa verde
2 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled, and cubed
¼ cup fresh cilantro
warmed tortilla, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Season the chicken thighs all over with salt and pepper. Working in batches if necessary, arrange the thighs skin-side down in a cold, large oven-proof skillet. Place the skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken thighs, undisturbed, until the skin is golden brown and the thighs naturally release from the skillet, 12-15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the thighs to paper towels.
  • Pour the wine and salsa verde into the skillet and stir to combine with the rendered fat and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then remove the skillet from the heat. Return the thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, so they are half submerged in the sauce. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven, scatter the cubed avocados evenly around the chicken in the sauce, and let the chicken rest in the sauce for 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve with tortillas on the side, if desired.
  • Enjoy!
