Grilled Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa

You have to know that I’m not much into chicken breast BUT I know that it’s a healthy & lean protein so I try to incorporate it as much as possible.

All that being said, this dish was AMAZING. And I have to give props to my husband. He’s a total grill master. He grilled these breasts & they weren’t dry or overcooked. They were perfectly juicy & yummy. I wrote down EXACTLY how he did it so you can do it too!
