Cilantro Avocado Grilled Chicken

Author: Gaby

Ingredients

For the Cilantro Avocado Grilled Chicken:

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • ½ bottle of Bolthouse Farms Cilantro Avocado Yogurt Dressing
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

For the Cilantro Pesto:

  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 1/3 cup whole raw almonds
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 ounces olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place 8 wooden skewers in a water bath to soak. Meanwhile, cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the chicken into a bowl and combine with the ½ bottle of Bolthouse Farms Cilantro Avocado Yogurt Dressing. Stir to combine and cover with plastic wrap, then let marinate in the fridge for 60 minutes.
  • Heat an indoor or outdoor grill over medium high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and thread the pieces of chicken onto the skewers.
  • Grill the chicken, turning occasionally, for 5-8 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • In a blender, combine the cilantro, almonds, garlic and olive oil and blend until a pesto like consistency is formed. Taste and add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper as needed. Blend for another few seconds until incorporated. Remove the pesto from the blender and set-aside until ready to serve.
  • Serve alongside some grilled tomatoes with extra cilantro pesto as needed.
