Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa
2 Tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
4 - 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt
Cooking spray
Combine the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well and add chicken. Toss and let stand about 5 minutes or more. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt. Heat grill pan over medium high heat. (I use a George Forman Grill.) Coat pan with cooking spray. Cook chicken 6 - 8 minutes on each side until done. (This is great cooked on an outdoor grill, too.)
Avocado Salsa
1 cup chopped ripe tomatoes (about 2 - 3 tomatoes)
2 Tablespoons finely chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon slat
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 avocado peeled and finely chopped
Combine all ingredients except avocado in a medium bowl. Right before serving, add avocado and stir gently to combine. Spoon salsa on top of chicken breasts and serve with your favorite sides.
