Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Assembly of the Dish

  1. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    While the chicken is resting, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin slices.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips. On a serving plate, place the grilled chicken slices, top with smoked mozzarella, and arrange the avocado slices around.

  3. 5

    Drizzle Pesto

    Finally, spoon the sundried tomato pesto over the chicken and avocado. Serve immediately.
