1
combine lemon juice,lemon zest, olive oil, garlic, pepper flakes, cilantro, parsley, salt and pepper in small mixing bowl. mix well.
2
rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towel. I like to use ziplock baggies instead of tupperwear, this helps cover the chicken thoroughly. Add chicken and marinade. Marinate at least six hours, I prefer overnight in refrigerator.
3
Grill chicken on low heat as not to burn, I use a convection type gas grill. (indirect heat)
4
baste chicken with remaining marinade first half of cooking time.
5
When chicken is done top each breast two pinches of cheese, turn off grill and let chicken stand with lid on for two minutes.
6
remove chiken and trasnfer to serving plate,
7
top each breast with 3 avacodo sclices and a dollop of sour cream next to the avacado but still on the breast, this lets you use as litlle or as much as desired
8
top entire plate lightly with remaining cilantro for garnish.
