Seared Chicken w/ Avocado

I LOVED this dinner.  Believe it or not it tasted better than it looked - and it's healthy for you!  Don't believe that healthy food can't look and taste amazing because this is proof that it's not true.  Simple, fresh ingredients can do great things.

Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.  I also added a little garlic powder, up to you though.  

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.  Add chicken, cook for one minute or until seared.  Reduce the heat to medium and cook for around 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through.

In a small bowl combine one diced avocado, cilantro, jalapeno pepper and lime juice.  Toss to combine.

Top the chicken with the avocado salsa.  I served with sweet potatoes and green beans.  So delicious, I really have nothing more to say than that.  Please try it and let me know if you agree.

Happy Monday everyone - have a great start to the week!
