We love avocados at our house. Even Syd and Brynn have acquired a taste for them. It really kind of disappoints me because that means that I have to share with them now. They thought this chicken was "kinda spicy, mom" but still ate it up with lots of water. They loved the avocado salsa. I didn't tell them about the onions. So tricky.
By the way, I love you Bec, and I was seriously going to post this today anyway. :)
Cayenne-Rubbed Chicken with Avocado Salsa
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6-8 oz. each)
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
2 Tbs. fresh lime juice
1 Hass avocado, pitted and cut into chunks
1- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cayenne; rub all over chicken.
2- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook until browned on the outside and opaque throughout, 8-10 minutes per side.
3- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine onion and lime juice; set aside. Just before serving, fold avocado chunks into onion mixture; season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken topped with salsa.
If anyone can tell me how the picture has been photo-shopped, you will get bonus points that are good for. . . a surprise!

Mindy, it's not that I think YOU need to get off the treats. It's that WE do! My son asks for two things daily as of late: "Boo-Bah" and "Nandy" ... evidently my parental skills have gone out the window! So something nutritious and delicious was on my wish list. :)
And this recipe ROCKS that list! Holy yum! It looks fantastic, and we (spicy AND avocado fans) will LOVE it! I honestly am trying this as soon as I can. Yum! Yum! YUM!
Thanks. :)
PS. You rotated it? Like it used to go big, smaller, smallest but now goes smallest, smaller, big?
