This stuffed avocado recipe is a dish everyone seems to like it. I hope it gets passed down. We enjoy it as a main dish when I make it with chicken. I serve it as a side when I omit the chicken. We will then have grilled chicken with it.

Recipe Tips

You can substitute 6 ounces crab meat (drained well, if using canned) for the chicken, along with 1 tablespoon chopped scallions.

You can use any leftover chicken mixture to fill hollowed-out tomatoes or peppers and cook them as above.

Cooking time and flavor will vary depending on how chicken is cooked (grilled, broiled, or stewed).
