Chicken and Fresh Salsa Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

So preferred way to cook chicken is always on a grill. I love grilling meat, but sometimes you just can’t do that. I put the butter and the garlic in a skillet and sautéd that for a minute, then added the chicken. I think I got some really nice color on the chicken. It turned out delicious.

This is a fresh yummy quick and easy salad. I make it a lot when I have left over cabbage to use up. I mean, do you ever need a WHOLE head of cabbage for something. I tried green cabbage this time and it was really good.

Make sure your avocados are ripe. My son lived in Guatemala for 2 years and he is the absolute best and picking out avocados. He can literally pick one up and say, “This one is ready now, this one will be ready in 2 days.” Are you kidding me!!! He says secret is to feel it. I mean, we all gently squeeze them. You don’t want it to be really squishy like a bruised peach, but you don’t want it hard like a rock. You will get the FEEL for it! LOL!
