Recipe Name: Chocolate Avocado Chicken with Nut Crust

Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a food processor, pulse the mixed nuts until they are finely chopped. Transfer the chopped nuts to a shallow dish.

3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
