This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Sargento®. The opinions and text are all mine.

Easy weeknight dinners that are packed with flavor are totally my jam! Try this southwest chicken with deconstructed guacamole for a meal that is super easy and tastes amazing.

We are big chicken eaters in our household, but it is so easy to get into a rut where we make the same chicken dishes over and over again. While they are delicious, I like to change it up and add in new flavors or new recipes whenever I can. This southwest chicken is a perfect way to shake up your chicken dinner routine.

The recipe starts with a few basic ingredients like chicken, bacon, spices and ingredients for the guacamole.

Then, we take everything next level by adding Sargento® BlendsTM 4 Cheese Southwest Slices to the ingredient list. I find mine in the dairy aisle at my local Harris Teeter. Sargento Slices are 100% Real, Natural Cheese. The 4 Cheese Southwest Slices are a mix of soft, creamy Monterey Jack cheese blends with Chipotle Cheddar, Colby, and Pepper Jack cheeses.

Of course, there are several other fantastic varieties, like Sargento® Ultra Thin® provolone slices and Sargento® Sliced Sharp Cheddar Cheese, that are perfect for all of your recipes. Click here to get a money saving coupon for Sargento Slices when you shop at Harris Teeter between 8/28/19 and 9/24/19.

The deconstructed guacamole in this recipe is a fantastic addition and is whipped up while the chicken cooks. It adds a great acidity and additional freshness to the dish.

But what is deconstructed guacamole? It is exactly what it sounds like: all of the ingredients in guacamole tossed together and mashed up together. Super simple to make and so flavorful.
