ELEGANT CHICKEN AVOCADO

Elegant Chicken Avocado image

When I first came across this recipe, I didn't think I would like it, but I decided to give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! The seasonings meld together and make a wonderful sauce. This is a great choice when you want something a little extra special or for company. If you only need 4 servings, make less cooked rice and only use 4 breast halves. I have also prepared this recipe using turkey tenderloins.
