    Source of Recipe


    Idea from "Fire and Spice" by Jacki Passmore and posted to rc by catgurrl

    List of Ingredients




    -- Chicken --
    2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice
    1 Tbsp olive oil
    1 medium clove garlic, peeled and mashed or pressed
    1/8 tsp chili powder
    4 skinless and boneless chicken breast halves

    -- Guacamole Sauce --
    2 ripe avocados
    2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice
    2 Tbsp plain nonfat or lowfat yogurt
    2 plum tomatoes, cored and coarsely chopped
    3 green onions, finely chopped
    1/2 tsp ground cumin
    1/2 tsp chili powder
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
    1 Tbsp chopped cilantro
    1/4 tsp salt

    Recipe



    To prepare the chicken: Combine the lemon, olive oil, garlic and chili powder in a small jar; cover and shake to combine. Put the chicken into a bowl; add the marinade and stir to coat the chicken. Marinate at room temperature 30 minutes. (Or refrigerate for longer marination.)


    To prepare the guacamole sauce: Peel and pit the avocados. Dice coarsely, add the lemon juice and mash with a fork. Stir in the yogurt, plum tomatoes, green onions, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, cilantro and salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.


    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the chicken. (Do not crowd the pan; cook in 2 batches, if necessary.) Cook about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. (Hold cooked chicken in a warm oven while cooking the remaining chicken.)

    Serve the chicken with the guacamole sauce on top.

    Makes 4 servings;
    30-minute marination time.
