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!"

Reviews

  1. Prepared for My-3-Chefs 2008. The marinade for the chicken was light and tasty. For our tastes the avocado salsa was too heavy on the tomato and bland. We love avocados and spice. A dash of Tabasco added some zip.
     
  2. It was somewhat bland, I would suggest marrinating the chicken in lime juice, and also incorporating lime into the avacado salsa (which was very light and refreshing).
