Guacamole Chicken
This quick and easy weeknight dinner is both healthy and delicious. This is one of the most delicious marinades that will become your go-to chicken recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 limes zest and juice
- 1/2 cup white wine dry
- 2 tsp. salt divided
- 2 tsp. pepper divided
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 Tbsp. fish sauce
- 2 avocados coarsely mashed
- 1/4 red onion grated
- 2 Tbsp. cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breast pieces in half so they are thin. In a gallon Ziploc bag, combine all of the ingredients for the marinade--zest and juice from 2 limes, white wine, olive oil, cumin, paprika, fish sauce and 1 tsp. each of salt and pepper. Add chicken. Close and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, turning every 30 minutes so marinade is evenly distributed. (Chicken can be kept in marinade in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.)
- Grill the chicken on an outdoor barbecue or an indoor skillet. Cook about 4-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from grill, cover, and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes to absorb the juices.
- Make the guacamole by combining the avocados, red onion, juice from 1 large lime, cilantro and 1 tsp each of salt and pepper.
- Spoon a generous amount of guacamole over each chicken breast. Serve with brown rice, quinoa or a crisp salad. Garnish with grape tomatoes.
