For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in the Creole seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Feel free to adjust the amount of Creole seasoning and garlic powder to your preference.
If you don’t have pepper Jack cheese, Monterey Jack or a mild cheddar can be substituted.
For a spicier guacamole, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely diced jalapeño.
Serve with a side of rice, black beans, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

    I used Monterey Jack cheese because that's what I had on hand, and it was still delicious.

  • Elroy Lehner

    This recipe is a weeknight lifesaver! So quick and easy, and the whole family loves it.

  • Harry Swift

    I added a little bit of chopped cilantro to the guacamole, and it was amazing!

  • Laurel Schiller

    I found that pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness helped them cook more evenly.

  • Earlene Waelchi

    Be careful not to over-broil the chicken! I accidentally left it in for a minute too long and the cheese was a little burnt.

  • Lacey Hoeger

    Simple and delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

  • Otilia Bruen

    The guacamole is what makes this dish special. So fresh and flavorful!
