Chili Chicken With Avocado Sauce

5.0(9)

A great summer chicken dinner dish. We love avocados at our house so the sauce is almost more popular than the chicken so you might want to double that part of the recipe. Also I like to take whole cumin seeds and use them freshly ground! The flavor is much better.
