Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise across the middle so that it opens out like a book. Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium/high heat. Season the chicken breast on each side with salt, pepper and lemon zest. Pan fry for 6 minutes on each side or until completely cooked through and the juices run clear.Step 2
Whilst the chicken is cooking, add the avocado flesh to a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and add the lemon juice. Mash together to combine.Step 3
Once the chicken is cooked, top with the crushed avocado.Step 4
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the chicken with the pan still on the heat so it melts a little.Step 5
Finely slice the scallions and chop the cilantro. Scatter over the chicken breasts to serve.
