this. is. SO GOOD!

Oh you guys will not want to pass this up!

Remember how I told you I was making something yummy for din-din? 

I think the word yummy is a GIANT understatement!

This chicken is to die for.

oh yeah, and did I mention that I learned how to bbq for this? :)

[don't fret, if you don't have access to a bbq you don't really need one!]

Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa

INGREDIENTS

2 Tbs minced fresh cilantro

2 1/2 Tbs fresh lime juice

1 1/2 Tbs olive oil

4 (6 oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/4 tsp salt

cooking spray (unless you use a bbq)

1 cup chopped plum tomato (about 2)

2 Tbs finely chopped red onion

2 tsp fresh lime juice

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 avocado, peeled and finely chopped

DIRECTIONS

1.  To prepare chicken, combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; toss and let stand 3 minutes.  (I let mine stand for about 10 while I chopped other stuff so that way the chicken could absorb the marinade more.)  Remove the chicken from the marinade; discard marinade.  Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 tsp

of salt.  

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat (I used a bbq) and coat pan with cooking spray.  Add chicken to pan and cook about 6 minutes on each side or until done.

2.  To prepare salsa, combine tomato, red onion, lime juice, salt & pepper in a medium bowl.  Add avocado; stir gently to combine.  Serve salsa over chicken.

So, there you have it!  So easy and super delicious.  AAAND for those of you who care, it's a heart-healthy recipe too (I actually got this from a wellness magazine!) with benefits of being low in sodium and containing healthy fats.

Enjoy :)
