Chili Chicken With Avocado Sauce
"A great summer chicken dinner dish. We love avocados at our house so the sauce is almost more popular than the chicken so you might want to double that part of the recipe. Also I like to take whole cumin seeds and use them freshly ground! The flavor is much better."

very good and easy to make -
The flavors together are AWESOME. I made the recipe exactly as stated. Delicious. -
This was super easy, and really tasty! Will definitely make again. -
Very tasty recipe. We really enjoyed the spicy seasoning rub along with the avocado sauce. I changed the sauce abit to our preference, I increased the garlic abit & didn't add the water (liked it abit thicker). Once the chicken was done cooking, I spread the sauce on the chicken in the pan, returned the lid & turned off the heat. This way the sauce warmed up slightly before serving. Great recipe with all my favorites, thanks for sharing.

I loved it. The bold spices of the chicken counter-balanced with the creamy goodness of the sauce. Thanks, sassafrasNC. (Will admit that I was a little heavy handed with some extra garlic - overpowering immediatley on making the sauce but mellowed overnight).
