Cilantro-Lime Chicken Thighs with Avocado-Tomato SalsaCilantro-Lime Chicken Thighs with Avocado-Tomato Salsa — a 35-minute dinner recipe with 10 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 avocados

1.362 kg chicken thighs, boneless skinless

1 ½ small bunches cilantro

6 cloves garlic

1 ½ small pkgs grape tomatoes

3 limes

1 ½ medium red onions

black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place in a medium bowl.

Juice the limes; add half of the juice to the bowl with the chicken and the other half to a separate large salad bowl.

Using a knife, shave the cilantro leaves off the stems at a downward angle, working away from your body; discard the stems and finely chop the leaves. Add half to each bowl.

Trim off and discard the root end of the garlic; peel and mince or press the garlic. Add to the bowl with the chicken.

To the bowl with the chicken, add olive oil, salt, and pepper. Turn the chicken until well coated with the marinade. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Preheat a grill pan or regular skillet over medium-high heat.

While the chicken marinates, halve the grape tomatoes crosswise. Add to the salad bowl.

Once the grill pan / skillet is hot, add the chicken and cook until it is golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Halve the avocados lengthwise and twist the halves to separate, then remove the pit with a knife or spoon; scoop out and small dice the flesh. Add to the salad bowl.

Trim off and discard the ends of the onion and remove the outer layer; small dice the onion (cut into 6-mm pieces). Add to the salad bowl.

Add olive oil, salt, and pepper to the salad bowl; toss to combine.

To serve, divide the chicken between plates and top with the salsa. Enjoy!
