What goes with Cilantro Lime Chicken?

This Cilantro Lime Chicken is marinated with fresh zesty lime juice, earthy ground cumin, and fresh cilantro. You could pan sear it if you’re under 2 feet of snow or if you want a real delicious juicy chicken, grill it to create a charcoaled taste and sear in all  flavor.

While the Chicken itself is amazing, the kicker and element that takes this dish over the top is the avocado salsa on top!

Holy Hannah is this stuff good! Although, can anything with avocado in it be bad? I think not!

The Avocado Salsa is creamy, zesty from the lime juice and red wine vinegar, slightly spicy from the red pepper flakes, and absolutely addicting! The combo of the Grilled Chicken with the Avocado Salsa will blow your taste buds out of the water!
