Fiesta Chicken with Avocado Salsa

so i tried this recipe for the first time this week and it turned out really good! It was super easy and the chicken was so tender so here it is.

Ingredients for Avocado Salsa*:
2 medium tomatoes chopped ( about 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped
1 medium/small onion chopped
1/4 c of lime juice ( about 3-4 limes)
1 finely chopped jalapeno pepper ( take out seeds)
1 tsp finely chopped garlic
1/4 tsp salt ( to taste)

Ingredients for Chicken:
3 small chicken breasts ( about 1-1/2 lbs)
1/4 c lime juice ( 3-4 limes)
1/4 c vegetable or olive oil
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:
1. Place chicken in a shallow dish. In a small bowl mix lime juice, oil, cumin and salt. Pour over chicken and refrigerate ( for up to an hour)
2. Meanwhile, In a medium bowl mix together all salsa ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray appropriate size pan ( 9inch) with cooking spray.
4. Place chicken in pan. Pour marinade over chicken.
5. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes.
6. Uncover and bake 20 minutes longer ( until chicken is cooked in center)
7. Remove from oven and serve chicken topped with salsa.

When I made this recipe I had extra salsa so I included tortilla chips and I also made a taco flavored rice as a side topped with sliced avocado. It turned out delicious. Enjoy!

* 1 cup of purchases chunky salsa can be substituted for the salsa you just add chopped avocados into the salsa. I think home made salsa is better but that's just my opinion!
