Chicken with Avocado and Nut Sauce (serves four)
You need:

Cook chicken breasts through until golden (around 7-8 minutes), then place in an ovenproof dish and cover with foil to keep warm in the oven.
Soak the diced avocado pieces in lemon juice. Cook walnuts in the remaining butter and avocado oil in the pan, stir until crisp and brown. Drain pan and pour in chicken stock, bringing to boil over high heat and cook for 4-5 minutes. Stir in cream, bring to boil and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
