Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa

Do you like avocado as much as I like it? Then it's a perfect dish for you. I'm honestly not a big fan of salsa, but this recipe is definitely stays in my heart from now and on. It's super easy to make and it is a good option for healthy dinner. 

Ingredients

Chicken

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 oz each)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Salsa

• 1 cup chopped tomato
• 1/2 jalapeno, minced (seeds and ribs removed) 
• 2 tablespoons minced onion 
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice 
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 avocado, peeled and cut into 1/4 to 1/2-inch cubes

Directions

1) Whisk together the cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil in a bowl. 

2) Add the chicken and marinate for 10 minutes on the first side, then flip and marinate for an additional 10 minutes on the second side.

3) Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with the salt. Place the chicken on the grill pan or in the oven and cook until it's ready. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.

4) While the chicken rests, make the salsa: Mix the tomato, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Add the avocado and gently mix to combine. Spoon the salsa over the chicken to serve.

And it's ready!
