Notes
Tips
- Easily pound your chicken with no mess by placing the breasts between two pieces of parchment paper.
- For food safety, check your cooked chicken with a food thermometer. It's fully cooked and juicy at 165°F.
- Don't peel your avocados until you're ready to mix the dressing. This keeps them from turning brown.
- If your ranch dressing is too thick, add a splash of milk and blend again.
