Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear. Let it rest for a few minutes, then shred the chicken using two forks.

  2. While the chicken bakes, carefully halve the ripe avocados. With a spoon, gently scoop out a little extra flesh from each half and place it in a mixing bowl to create space for the filling.
