Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa
A three minute dip into a pungent marinade is all that you need to put big flavor into chicken breasts. Serve with rice.
Chicken:
2 T minced fresh cilantro
2 1/2 T fresh lime juice
1 1/2 T olive oil
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 tsp salt
Cooking Spray
Salsa:
1 cup chopped plum tomato
2 T finely chopped onion
2 tsp fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 avocado, peeled and finely chopped
To prepare chicken, combine the first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; toss and let stand for 3 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 tsp salt. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan; cook 6 minutes on each side or until done.
To prepare salsa, combine tomato and next 4 ingredients (through pepper) in a medium bowl. Add avocado; stir gently to combine. Serve salsa over chicken.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast and about 1/4 cup salsa)
