Our
whole family loves this recipe! My husband makes amazing guacamole and it is so
fresh tasting. I came up with this recipe when I wanted something similar but a
little more kick and protein. I just can’t get enough of recipes that are
filling but still fresh and light tasting especially in the summer heat! There
are so many different ways to use this recipe but our family favorites are with
chips or in a pita pocket. If you would like to make this recipe for a more
traditional lettuce salad you can find that variation in my post here.
4
Avocados
3
Roma Tomatoes
3
Large Chicken Breasts (Avocado Oil or Olive Oil to coat pan)
3
Tbls Lime Juice
1
Packet McCormick Grill Mates Baja Citrus Marinade
2
tsp Fresh Cracked Pepper
Finely
diced cilantro to taste
Coat
a skillet with avocado oil and place on stovetop at med-high heat. Once heated
add chicken breasts and sprinkle with 1/3 of the Baja Citrus packet. After 3-4
minutes flip the chicken and sprinkle another 1/3 of the packet. Continue
flipping chicken every 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Once the chicken has
been cooked let it sit and cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into small
cubes. This will help the meat retain the juices and keep it as moist as
possible.
While
the chicken is cooking slice the avocados and tomatoes into small pieces and
place in a medium bowl. Stir the avocado and tomatoes together gently until
blended.
In
a small bowl mix the lime juice, pepper, the rest of the seasoning packet, and
cilantro. I like to mix these separately to avoid getting lumps of seasoning
and to keep from over mixing the avocado.
Now
add the diced chicken and seasoning mixture into the avocado and tomato mix and
lightly stir.
Serve
with chips, crackers, pita, in a pita pocket, in cucumber cups, or on a
sandwich. Leave a comment below and let me know what your favorite way is to
serve this dish!
Note:
If you do refrigerate before serving you will most likely notice a small liquid
buildup in the container. This is just the juices from the chicken and tomatoes
separating and you can stir them in or drain them. I prefer to drain before
serving since I like this dish to be a little on the thicker side. Enjoy!
