I did not have any time to go grocery shopping for dinner so I looked around the kitchen for some ingredients and brought the list to google. I had some frozen chicken breasts in the freezer left over from a trip to BJ's, cilantro and lime from making Jon's favorite rice and an avocado sitting on the counter.
The wonderful search engine brought me to this delicious Cilantro- lime Chicken with avocado salsa recipe. So, this recipe is not a Kim original, but it was so delicious I needed to share it. I found it at http://www.myrecipes.com/.
Cilantro- lime Chicken with avocado salsa
What you will need:
Chicken:
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray
Salsa:
- 1 cup chopped plum tomato (about 2)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 avocado, peeled and finely chopped
1. To prepare chicken, combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; toss and let stand 3 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 teaspoon 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.
2. 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.
This recipe was light and fresh, yet full of great fats and protein. Perfect for a post cross fit workout meal.
