Sometimes we just need an easy, delicious, go-to meal for any day of the week and for any occasion. This is mine. It works for a quick weeknight meal, and it is the perfect entree to serve guests on the weekends.
This entire dish only contains 5 grams of carbohydrates per serving. I love adding a side of my Mexi Cauli Rice and 1/2 cup of black beans to make it a perfectly complete meal, ready in less than 30 minutes. Feel free to marinate the chicken in the morning, and stick it in the refrigerator so you can have a meal on the table right away in the evening.
And you might also want to double the sauce to have throughout the week. I love to use it as a salad dressing, veggie dip, and sauce for other proteins. I did not grow up eating avocados, so now that I live in California, where they are fresh year-round, I can’t.get.enough. I think most people realize that avocados are a great source of healthy monounsaturated fats, but what you may not know is that they are an amazing source of potassium! They actually have MORE potassium than a banana. Yep. And since potassium tends to be low in processed food, it’s yet another reason whole, real foods are always the best route. Additionally, potassium helps regulate our blood pressure levels, so this recipe is a double-win for anyone with diabetes…good for your blood sugar AND blood pressure.
So I encourage you to invite some friends over this week, or surprise your spouse with this yummy recipe. No need to let them know it’s ‘healthy’, I promise, they will eat it either way!
