Grilled Spicy Honey-Glazed Avocado-Stuffed Chicken Breasts – is that a mouthful or what? Well, just wait till you get an actual mouthful of this summer grilled chicken recipe.

If you like spicy grilled dishes that won’t have you sucking on the garden hose, then try this one! The sweetness of the honey and creamy texture of the avocado keep the pepper in check. Now, if you do want to amp up the heat, use a more aggressive pepper.

I used a red serrano pepper and yellow tomato, just for the variety of color. (We pull in some nice green with the avocado and cilantro.) But, feel free to make due with whatever colors you can find.

Also, it was REALLY hard for me not to add cheese into the mix. But, if you want to add a little bit of gooey goodness into the middle, go for it!
