Cumin-Dusted Chicken Breasts with Guacamole Sauce

This recipe came from my favorite source..Cooking Light magazine. I never get rid of these magazines, I love the recipes that much!! I must admit that before this recipe I had never eaten avacado...in anything! Thanks to Courtney I now know that "black stringies" aren't supposed to be in a ripe avacado! Thanks Courtney!!!

1/4 c. finely chopped green onions
1/4 c. finely chopped parsley
1/4 c. fat-free sour cream
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 ripe peeled avacado, seeded and coarsely mashed
Chicken:
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
