Served here with Spanish rice

Ingredients
Chicken:
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
cooking spray
Salsa:
1 cup chopped plum tomato
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 avocado, peeled and finely chopped
(I doubled the salsa recipe because my family loves salsa)

Directions
1. To prepare chicken, combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; toss and let stand 3 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat a grill pan (I don't have one, so I used a regular one) over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan; cook 6 minutes on each side or until done.
2. To prepare salsa, combine tomato and next 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add avocado; stir gently to combine. Serve salsa over chicken.

Thoughts:

• I really liked the meal! It was super easy and super yummy! Would totally make it again.
• Dad thought salt should be added to the chicken marinade, was a little tangy (because of lime), salsa made the dish, and had perfect spicyness for "normal" people. Overall, he liked it.
• Mom thought it was delicious. No complaints. What would you expect from a mom?
