Cilantro Lime Chicken with Avocado Black Bean Salsa

Cut the carbs! This is a delicious healthy dish and it tastes so fresh! Gets me in the mood for summer...

Cilantro Lime Chicken 
Marinade
juice of one large lime
a splash of olive oil
a dash of salt and pepper
almost an entire bunch of cilantro, stemmed
4 cloves garlic

Mix in blender or food processor until finely chopped and mixed well.  Marinate 2 chicken breasts, cut into strips, overnight. Place chicken on a bed of sliced red onions in small baking dish (with a lid).  I use about 1/2 of a small red onion.  Pour rest of marinade over chicken and onions.  Bake at 350 degrees until cooked through.

Avocado Black Bean Salsa
5 fresh tomatoes, chopped
2 fresh avocados, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
1 can black beans
1 can kernel corn
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
juice of one lime
salt
minced garlic
chopped jalepeno (optional)

Serve chicken and onions with a side of salsa.  It's a good idea to have some tortilla chips nearby...
