GRILLED LIME CHICKEN WITH AVOCADO SALSA
I get a monthly recipe from eatchicken.com, and this one looked good! Made it last night and we all loved it. It doesn't say how long to marinate the chicken - mine was in it for about an hour. I pounded it some too. I also added a bit more to my salsa - (which was really like guacamole) some salt, lime juice and minced garlic. (Looking at this now, I think the salt was to be divided between the marinade and the salsa, but I used 2 teaspoons in the marinade and it was fine) This is going to become a summer staple - believe me!
