Grilled Chciken with Avocado Tomato Salsa
It is time for another edition of Holiday Recipe Club.  I am pretty sure you can guess what we are celebrating today ….. Cinco de Mayo!  Gotta love the Americans, we will celebrate pretty much any holiday that involves food and drinks.  Doesn’t really matter if we are from that country or not.  Any excuse to eat, right?

This time our challenge ingredients were dulce de leche, tomatoes, or chorizo.  I really wanted to do something with dulce de leche, but we are trying to eat better around here.  Which means, I have cut back out on my baking 🙁  Sad, sad day.  But a few pounds need to go.

This chicken is full of flavor, and good for you.  Who wouldn’t love chicken with lots of lime flavor, and then covered in avocados and tomatoes.  Perfect with my Mango Citrus Cooler, or a Skinny Girl Margarita.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

  18. All those limes—call it margarita chicken! Maybe you could trick yourself into not having a real calorific drink—but then again, I couldn’t. 🙂 Great and healthy recipe—love it.

  24. Happy Cinco de Mayo (a day late now…)! Your Grilled Chicken with an Avocado Tomato Salsa looks absolutely amazing! We made gucamole and had planned to make spicy chicken enchiladas, but never got to it because the appatizer was so filling!

  33. I searched Google for a recipe for chicken that I could make with some leftover guacamole I had…oh my goodness this is SO good!!! The marinade is so easy, fast, and it is so delicious! As simple as it is, it gives the chicken so much flavor. It is so fresh and flavorful. I will be using this recipe over and over again! Thank you!!!
