Absolutely delicious!  The marinade is so good and you can’t go wrong with a topping of fresh mozzarella, avocado and tomatoes.

I’ve made this a few times - I love it with pepper jack cheese.  So quick and easy.

I eat this at least twice a week.  I wish I could replace the chicken w/ something though );

We really enjoyed this recipe! Flavors melded together nicely, along with some added dry rub for a spicy kick to go along with the sweet. Pepper Jack cheese works well with this recipe.

This recipe is very excellent though doing it indoors on a grill pan takes a little less cook time and trying to keep the mozz, avocado, and tomato from slipping off was quite challenging. I think I need flatter chicken breasts but the taste is outstanding. My expertise is less so.

I made it exactly as the recipe called WITH the avocado.  It was a nice change.  Thus the recipe name "California Grilled Chicken".    I sprinkled see salt and dried Italian seasoning on each tomato before adding the fresh basil and drizzling with a balsamic reduction.  It was a hit!!  This also made for a very pretty presentation on the plate

Hint... I  pounded out the chicken before marinating and grilling.  The chicken cooked evenly and quickly and was very tender with no overcooked/undercooked areas.  Will definitely make again.

Served with Strawberry Spinach Salad with roasted pecans & feta cheese tossed in a light balsamic/honey dressing AND baked fingerling potatoes lightly seasoned with dried rosemary and italian seasoning.

I baked it at 350 in a baking dish with some of the marinade poured over. Cover with foil. Bake for 45 to one hour, depending on the thickness. Uncover and place cheese, tomatoes, (avocado—didn’t use), and basil on top.  Keep in oven for about 5 minutes. Serve. Delicious!

Looks great! I will try it tonight. My family loves avocado!

Okay, now this is so darn good. I had this with Mediterranean Chickpea Salad and homemade bread.

I made this minus the 🥑 avocado. My daughter and I loved it! Followed recipe to a T even the cooking time. Perfect!
