Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir quinoa into the broth and bring again to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and broth has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Stir scallions and 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice into the quinoa.
- Mix paprika, cumin, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sea salt together in a small bowl; rub onto chicken breasts to season completely.
- Prepare a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
- Lay chicken breasts into the hot skillet, cover skillet with a lid, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Blend avocado, yogurt, 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, and garlic powder in a food processor until smooth.
- Spread quinoa onto a serving platter. Arrange chicken breasts onto the platter. Drizzle avocado cream sauce over the chicken breasts.

Amazing dish! I prepared it just like it says and even doubled the avocado sauce (which is really tasty) and couldn't be happier. I will definitely be making it again!

This was really good, but I needed to add milk (1/4 cup?) to the avocado sauce in order to 'drizzle' it over the chicken.

I loved this recipe! spicy chicken is cooled off with the avocado sauce which I make all the time for lots of dishes!!
Pretty easy to make and super delicious. I made double the amount of creamy avocado sauce to have with some fresh veggies.
My whole crew loved this meal. I roasted butternut squash and broccoli with it.
A great treat for your tastebuds. I don't add cayenne and I serve it with rice. I use a whole avocado with the ingredients for a half avocado because you can't have too much!
I've made this twice now and we love it! Too spicy for the kids, but this is one of my favorite chicken recipe. The sauce is amazing on the spicy chicken. Just the right amount of coolness to ba...
