Grilled Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa

Grilled Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa is a terrific dish for a quick outdoor dinner.

Coat or marinate boneless, skinless chicken breast halves in lime juice, olive oil and salt; the chicken will pick up the flavors quickly with a simple rub if there is no time to marinate.

Diced avocado, red onion and tomato makes a delicious accompanying salsa. Serve the chicken by slicing into strips and fanning onto plates, topped with the salsa. A big green salad and roasted or baked potatoes finishes the meal.

4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless

2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1/2 lime)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoonssalt

2 avocados, diced or mashed, or 1 package vacuum-packed guacamole

1 tomato, diced

1/4 red onion, finely diced

1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

In large glass baking dish, place chicken in single layer. Add lime juice, olive oil and salt; turn several times to coat well.

In medium-sized serving bowl, combine avocados or guacamole, tomato, red onion and salt; mix thoroughly together. Add cilantro and stir. Set aside.

Prepare coals or preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place chicken breasts on grill and cook about 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they start to brown in the middle and are no longer pink in the thickest part of the breast. Remove from heat, slice into strips and serve topped with avocado salsa.

Makes 4 servings.
