I loved this, especially the tangy dressing. Colter loved the chicken dipped in avocado sauce. http://www.fortheloveofcooking.net/2012/02/chicken-tostadas-with-avocado-dressing.html

These were absolutely delicious, I have never dipped chicken in coconut milk before and I think that made it extra tender. I accidentally bought hot chili sauce so I about died when I dipped the chicken in a HUGE glob of sauce :) http://budgetbytes.blogspot.com/2010/01/coconut-chicken-w-sweet-chili-sauce-691.html

Chicken fajitas. I seasoned 3 chicken breasts with chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, pepper, and salt, and a little oregano. Sauteed the chicken in diced chunks. Served with sauteed red/green peppers & red onion, and homemade guacamole.

Guacamole:
3 ripe avocados
1 large hothouse tomato (cut off the top and squeeze out the seeds & juice)
juice for 1 lime
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced fine
1-2 T red onion
salt & a little pepper to taste
Mash with a fork so it has a lumpy consistency

I haven't made this recipe in so long, but man is it delicious! I bought goat cheese at costco and put the 2nd log in the freezer for another meal. SO good. I served this with roasted asparagus. http://jessieheaviland.blogspot.com/search?q=balsamic+chicken

I am a huge fan of tomato soup, and this recipe is probably my favorite so far. The butternut squash adds a ton of creaminess and you can't even taste it. Colter loved this! http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2010/03/tomato-bisque-soup-and-a-few-housekeeping-items.html

I made this to go along side the balsamic pork recipe I've made before. So delicious! http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2011/05/guacamole-salad.html

This was a super simple salad, but the flavors were fantastic! http://www.closetcooking.com/2008/07/jerked-chicken-with-mango-and-avocado.html
