CILANTRO GUACAMOLE CHICKEN



Cilantro Guacamole Chicken image

We really loved this way to serve a chicken breast. Everything is fresh and yummy. The chicken breast comes out of the foil pack so juicy. It's a little on the plain side but the guacamole on top is what adds tons of flavor. This is a delicious and healthy way to serve chicken.

CILANTRO-LIME CHICKEN SANDWICHES



Cilantro-Lime Chicken Sandwiches image

You can use any type of bread or roll for this sandwich. We like the ciabatta, but have used other breads and rolls, whatever I might have handy. You can also pan fry the chicken if you can't get to a grill.-Debbie Speckmeyer, Lakewood, California
