Cilantro Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa

What a long week it has been! I know I was off on Tuesday for Valentine's Day, and only worked a half day today, but it sure felt like a long week! I am excited for the 3 day weekend this weekend. Thank you Presidents!

I have made this Cilantro Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa a couple of times before, but forgot how good it is. It is light and refreshing and has lots of flavor.(Isn't everything with avocado good?) It is pretty quick and easy to make also.
