  1. Spicy Avocado Chicken

    June 18, 2012 by Kristin

    So I was looking in my fridge and I had 2 avocados, an onion, and chicken breast.  I came up with spicy avocado chicken.  I used some spices from the spice cabinet to make it a little tangy.

    Ingredients:

    • chicken breasts
    • Mexican chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper
    • 1 avocado
    • 1/2 onion
    • 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro
    • 1 tablespoon of lime juice
    • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
    • pinch of sugar
    1. Use the salt and pepper and chili powder to season the chicken breasts.
    2. Cook the chicken in a skillet in medium heat and use coconut oil instead of olive oil.  Cook the chicken until it is cooked all the way through.
    3. While the chicken is cooking, mince the onion and avocado, and mix with olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, and sugar.  Spoon the mixture onto the cooked chicken and serve!

    I guess my theme for dinner tonight was green :)
