Critical Success Points

  • Season chicken evenly before cooking
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when searing chicken
  • Zest lime only the colored outer layer, avoiding the white pith
  • Blend avocado crema until completely smooth to avoid lumps

Safety Warnings

  • Use oven‑mitts or a thick towel when handling the hot skillet.
  • Never leave hot oil unattended; it can splatter.
  • Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to avoid foodborne illness.
  • Use a sharp knife carefully; dull knives are more dangerous.
