This was a wonderful dish! The avocado went well with the cheese and the cornmeal & cumin coated chicken, which was very moist. I do think it could use a little salt atop the avocado's to bring out more of their flavor. I had the butcher at Albertsons tenderize a large chicken breast (about 1lb.), then pounded it out till it ws an even thickeness, then cut in half - made half of the cornmeal coating & 1 egg which was the prefect amount.
