HAWAIIAN GRILLED CHICKEN STUFFED AVOCADOS

Ingredients
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 ripe avocados (200g)
1 tsp. crushed garlic
2 TB lime juice
2 TB fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/8 tsp. ground cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup diced pineapple
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

How to Prepare (SO SIMPLE!!)
1. Fire up your grill and cook the grilled chicken until no longer pink and fully cooked through.
2. While the chicken is cooking, slice your avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Be careful not to break the avocado skin, as these become your bowls. Put the avocado skins to the side.
3. Add the garlic, lime juice, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the avocado and mix until smooth and well blended.
4. Scoop ¼ of the mixture into each of the 4 avocado skins. Set aside.
5. Dice the grilled chicken and pineapple, and half the cherry tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Divide evenly on top of the avocado mixture into each of the skins. Grab a fork and enjoy!
