Chicken is anything but boring in this bright, flavorful, sweet-and-spicy weeknight meal.
I haven't been making chicken dishes as often as I used to. It's so easy to get bored with it.
But then a recipe like this comes around that packs a ton of flavor and I ask myself why I haven't been cooking with chicken more often. It's such a great canvas for flavors!
The vibrant strawberry-avocado salsa is the perfect blend of sweet, spicy and most importantly, DELICIOUS. I loved the brightness of the strawberry and lime paired with the creamy avocado.
I served this over jasmine rice and broccolini sautéed with truffle salt. It was an awesome meal!

Is there anything better than a fresh fruit salsa (with avocado!) on chicken in the summer? I think not!

This looks amazingly healthy, and I love the avocado touch.
