Cayenne-Rubbed Chicken with Avocado Salsa

The avocado salsa on top is what makes this dish!  As my friend Stacy says, "Is there anything better than an avocado?"  Stacy and I made this meal as a combined effort, I made the chicken and she made a delicious cilantro rice.  I'll try to get the recipe from her to post with this meal.

Ingredients:

Serves 4

• Coarse salt and ground pepper
  
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
  
• 1/2 medium red onion, finely diced
  
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  
• 1 Hass avocado, pitted and cut into chunks
  

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cayenne; rub all over chicken.
   
2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add chicken, and cook until browned on the outside and opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes per side.
   
3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine onion and lime juice; set aside. Just before serving, fold avocado chunks into onion mixture; season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken topped with salsa.
