Directions

1. Combine all the dry seasonings in a small bowl. Mix them together and then season both sides of each chicken breast.

4. After the chicken breasts have cooked all the way through, remove them from the pan and let them rest for seven minutes before slicing them.
5. Add the warm quinoa to a large bowl. Toss in the lime zest, lime juice, salt and pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix to combine.
6. Place the flesh from an avocado along with two tablespoons of Greek yogurt in a food processor and puree until smooth.
