Cayenne-Rubbed Chicken with Avocado Salsa



My MIL signed me up to receive Martha Stewart's Food Everyday Magazine. I love recipes with few ingredients that are fresh and quick, and this magazine has never let me down.


This is a recent recipe we tried. Thanks Jen!

Check it out. Yum, Yum!


Ingredients

course salt and ground pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium red onion finely diced
2 tbsp 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. 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.

We served this up with fresh steamed green beans and a green salad with apples and candied pecans mixed in.

My whole family loved it...even the little ones:-)
