I made this dish for dinner tonight and LOVED it. It was so easy, most of the items needed were already in my pantry/fridge and it was fast. What is not to love about all of those things?
Cayenne Rubbed Chicken with Avocado Salsa
Ingredients:
•Coarse salt and ground pepper
•1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
•2 tablespoons olive oil
•1 medium red onion, finely diced
•2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (or 1/2 of lime squeezed)
•1 Hass avocado, pitted and cut into chunks (if they are on the small side I suggest 2)
Directions:
•In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cayenne; rub all over chicken. (FAST HINT: sprinkle each side of the chicken with each ingredient, then rub. The spicier you want it, the darker red you need to make it)
•In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add chicken, and cook until browned on the outside and opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes per side.
•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.
Done...that's it...EAT UP!!
