Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly spritz bottom and sides of a medium baking pan with olive oil spray.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice into the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket but do not slice all the way through. Season the insides and outsides with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine diced avocado and the bacon. Divide the mixture in half and stuff each chicken breast. Use toothpicks to secure the pockets and place into baking pan.
- Mix together panko, mozzarella cheese, and olive oil in a small bowl. Brush 1 tablespoon pesto on top of each breast. Cover each breast with the panko mixture, pressing into the pesto so mixture adheres.
- Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Heat 2cm sunflower oil in a deep frying pan (or slightly more in a big wok) until a cube of bread browns in 1 min. Lift the chicken from the buttermilk and drop into the flour mix, tossing to coat well. Add about 3 chicken strips at a time to the oil and fry, turning, until golden on all sides and just cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper while you fry the rest.
- Halve and stone each avocado, scrape out the flesh into a bowl with the lemon juice and some seasoning, and very roughly smash together with the back of a spoon. Spread over the warm tortillas or flatbreads, top with the crispy chicken, pickled onions and some coriander, and roll up to tuck in.

Tips:
- Use panko breadcrumbs for a crispy coating: Panko breadcrumbs are flakier and airier than regular breadcrumbs, resulting in a crispier coating.
- Season the chicken and breadcrumbs separately: This ensures that the chicken is well-seasoned throughout and the breadcrumbs have a flavorful coating.
- Use a shallow dish for dredging the chicken: This makes it easier to coat the chicken evenly in the breadcrumbs.
- Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken: This helps the breadcrumbs adhere to the chicken and prevents them from falling off during cooking.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This prevents the chicken from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
Breaded chicken with avocado is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as an appetizer. The crispy coating and tender chicken are perfectly complemented by the creamy avocado, and the dish is easy to make. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
