Grilled Chicken with Tomato Avocado Salsa

Grilled Chicken with Tomato-Avocado Salsa - 16g Carbs, 4g Fiber, 8g Sugar

From: www.foodfit.com
Serves: 4

--> For the salsa
4 ripe plum tomatoes, chopped or 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno chili pepper, seeded and diced
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 avocado

--> For the chicken
1/2 cup non-fat, plain yogurt
1/2 small red onion
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 4 to 6 ounces each
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper

For the salsa:
1. In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, pepper and cilantro.

2. Chop the avocado and sprinkle it with 2 tablespoons of lime juice to
keep it from browning. Add the avocado and remaining lime juice to the
bowl and toss to combine.
(This can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to
1 day.)

For the chicken:
1. In a small food processor, puree the yogurt, red onion, lime juice
and cilantro to make a yogurt marinade.

2. Transfer the marinade to a shallow bowl or a plastic bag. Add the
chicken and coat well with the marinade. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up
to 8 hours.

3. Preheat the grill to medium-high.

4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discard the remaining marinade
and season the chicken with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken on both
sides until it is cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.

5. Serve the chicken with tomato-avocado salsa.
