Description

This comforting dish features ripe avocados baked alongside a rich, creamy filling of tender chicken and sharp cheddar. The sauce is thickened with a butter and flour roux, enriched with light cream, and seasoned with subtle hints of garlic, celery salt, and a kick of cayenne. The result is a luxurious blend of textures: the soft, buttery avocado pairs perfectly with the velvety hot sauce. It serves as an elegant yet simple appetizer or a light main course, bringing a touch of classic comfort food to your table. Ideal for potlucks or a cozy dinner, this recipe transforms simple ingredients into a sophisticated treat that is easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
  2. Roll peeled avocado halves in lemon juice to prevent browning, then place cut-side up in a large baking pan.
  3. Sprinkle avocado halves lightly with remaining lemon juice and garlic powder.
  4. Bake avocados for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and transfer to serving plates. Keep warm.
  5. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
  6. Add chopped green onions, celery salt, and cayenne pepper to the melted butter and saut for 5 minutes until fragrant.
  7. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  8. Gradually whisk in light cream, continuing to stir constantly until the mixture thickens.
  9. Fold in the minced cooked chicken and 1/2 cup of the grated cheddar cheese until well combined.
  10. Ladle the hot chicken and cheese mixture generously over the baked avocado halves.
  11. Top each serving with the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese.
