The near 90 degree temps in Kansas City today really made me want to fire up the grill. Then I remembered that the winds were near 90 mph. This recipe was the perfect solution to that and the fresh avocado salsa (plus the fresh mango I added, thankyouverymuch) was great for a pre-summer summer-like day.
Cayenne-Rubbed Chicken with Avocado Salsa
serves 4
coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 Hass avocado, pitted and cut into chunks
In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cayenne; rub all over chicken.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add chicken, and cook until browned on the outside and opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes per side.
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.
Taylor's Notes:
As I mentioned, I added mango to the mix and it was such a great partner to the creamy avocado and sharp onion. The recipe was quick and easy to make... for one, or many!
Enjoy!
