Chicken-Stuffed Avocado Boats

Submitted by Ree Devi

"A simply delicious recipe that is paleo-friendly. If you love avocado, this is a great recipe to try. I use my air fryer for this but you can use your oven and just add cooking time to chicken until they reach 165 degrees and put the avocado boats in the oven for 5 minutes on 400 degrees."
