Ingredients: 2 chicken breasts; 1/2 tsp garlic powder; 1/2 tsp paprika; 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper; salt, to taste; black pepper, to taste; 1 tbsp avocado oil; 3 tbsp cream cheese; 1 jalapeño, finely chopped; 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped; 1/2 tbsp lime juice; 1 tbsp lime juice

1

Carefully slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, making sure not to cut all the way through.

2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Drizzle with avocado oil and rub the seasonings into the chicken.

4

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, finely chopped jalapeño, chopped fresh dill, and 1/2 tbsp of lime juice. Mix until well combined.

5

Transfer the filling to a zip-top bag. Push the filling to one corner and snip the tip to create a piping bag.

Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the pocket of each chicken breast and press to close.

7

In a high-heat pan, sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

8

Add 1 tbsp of lime juice to the pan, then cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

9

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, let it rest for a moment, then slice into pieces.

10

Serve immediately, spooning any extra cream cheese sauce from the pan over the top.
