I few weeks ago I shared one of my favorite appetizers avacado bruschetta. The topping is so good that I decided to try it on top of some grilled chicken tenderloins. The combined flavors melt in your mouth and leave you wanting more. It's fairly easy to put together and very healthy. Makes the perfect weeknight meal or one to share with others. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
For the topping:
- 2 avocados, peeled and diced
- 2/3 cup quartered grape tomatoes
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup fresh basil, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
For the chicken:
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins (about 8 strips)
- salt
- pepper
- 1 tsp. dried basil
Directions:
- Preheat the grill on medium heat and season the chicken with salt, pepper, and dried basil.
- Grill the chicken over medium heat about 5-7 minutes a side or until no longer pink in the middle.
- While the chicken is grilling, place all the ingredients for the topping in a medium mixing bowl and gently stir.
- When the chicken is finished top with the avocado mixture and enjoy.
