Now what
- preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare 2 baking trays with baking paper.

- Lay the chicken thighs open on the baking trays and place a tablespoon of avocado mix on to the middle of each chicken thigh.
- Fold the chicken thighs in half, so the avocado mix is inside the chicken thigh.
- Wrap each chicken thigh in bacon and place on to the baking tray so the ends of the bacon are underneath the chicken or you can use tooth picks to hold the bacon on to the chicken.
- Place in to the oven for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
