Preparation

Step 1

To make the sauce

In a small bowl, mix together parsley, sour cream, green onions, lime juice, salt, cumin, red pepper and mashed avocado.

To make the chicken

Preheat oven to 400

In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, cumin, salt and pepper. Season chicken with sugar mixture and press to adhere.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add chicken and cook until browned on one side - about 3-5 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over and set pan in the oven. Bake until the chicken is thoroughly cooked - about 6-10 minutes depending on thickness. Spoon sauce over chicken right before serving.
