PEPPER AVOCADO SALSA
Much of our summer menu is done on the grill, and peppers and avocados are favorites in my family. That led me to create this recipe to help spice up our barbecued entrees. I have also served it as an appetizer or thin wedges of bread and as a topping for easy country-style dishes like chicken and rice pilaf. With our 14-year-old daughter, we live on 4 wooded acres on Mt. Pisqua. -Theresa Mullens, Gill, Massachusetts

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling in the kitchen.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give you plenty of room to cook the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding them. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help bring out the flavor of the chicken and make it more flavorful.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help it cook evenly without burning it. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will brown too quickly on the outside and remain raw on the inside.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add the chicken and vegetables to the skillet, make sure you don't overcrowd them. If the skillet is too crowded, the food will steam instead of sautéing and will not brown properly.
- Stir the food frequently: Stir the food frequently to ensure that it cooks evenly and does not burn.
- Make the avocado salsa while the chicken is cooking: This will save you time and ensure that the salsa is fresh and flavorful when you serve it.
- Serve the chicken and vegetables immediately with the avocado salsa: This dish is best served hot, so make sure you serve it immediately after it is cooked.
Conclusion:
This sautéed chicken with peppers and avocado salsa is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are crisp and colorful, and the avocado salsa is creamy and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
