Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts skinless, boneless
- 2 limes juiced 1 1/2 for chicken and 1/2 for salsa

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Avocado Salsa
- 1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes I used a variety
- 1 avocado peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1 Jalapeño diced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix the juice from 1 1/2 limes together with cilantro and olive oil. Marinade chicken while preparing salsa.
- For salsa in a medium bowl combine tomatoes, avocado, jalapeno, salt and pepper together.
- Remove chicken from marinade and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of salt; discard marinade.
- Heat greased barbecue to medium heat. Grill chicken 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until done (170ºF)
- Top cooked chicken with avocado salsa.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- The acid in the lime breaks down the proteins fairly quick, so you don't need to marinade the meat for long. 30 minutes is more than enough time.
