Chicken with Avocado Lime Sauce


1 bunch fresh cilantro, stemmed and chopped
6 tbsp lime juice
2 tsp finely grated lime zest
1 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic, divided
Salt
8 boneless chicken breasts pieces
2 ripe avocados, peeled and seeded
2 green onions, finely chopped
Tabasco sauce
1 red pepper, quartered, cored, and seeded

In a medium bowl, combine cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, lemon juice, olive oil, 1 tsp of the minced garlic, and salt to taste. Remove 1/4 cup for use in the avocado sauce. Arrange chicken in a shallow dish and cover with the remaining cilantro mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

In a large bowl, mash the avocados. Add the 1/4 cup cilantro mixture, green onions, the remaining 1 tsp minced garlic, salt, and Tabasco sauce to taste. Stir until well blended.

Preheat the grill to medium. Grill the chicken about 7 minutes on each side or until thoroughly cooked. Add the bell pepper to the grill halfway through. Place chicken breasts on the serving plate. Spoon the avocado sauce on top. Slice the red pepper in strips and place on top of the sauce. Garnish with tomato salsa.
