Chicken with avocado salsa

This is a great recipe I found in Everyday Food (one of my favorite magazines!). It's quick and is a nice little twist on traditional guacamole and chicken.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1 avocado, diced into bite size pieces shopping list
- 1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped shopping list
- juice of one lime shopping list
- S&P to tast shopping list
- olive oil (for frying) shopping list
How to make it
- Prep avocado salsa up to 4 hours in advance (will save overnight, but I wouldn't push it!).
- Mix the finely chopped red onion with the lime juice. Gently fold in the avocado. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix cayenne, salt, and pepper together in a small dish.
- Trim fat and prep chicken breast as desired - I like thin filets so I usually slice them in half.
- Rub spice mixture on both sides of chicken breasts.
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a saute pan.
- Cook chicken until done, 8-10 minutes depending on thickness. If you have to cook the chicken in batches, save the first batch under tented tin foil - it keeps the chicken extra juicy!
- Serve chicken with a generous portion of avocado salsa on top.
