Tasty Healthy Dinner!

This Lime Chicken with Sweetcorn & Avocado Salsa  is a really delicious and really easy dish, I think that is what good simple food is all about. It is one of my personal favourites!  If you come for dinner at my house, this is likely what you’ll get served :-).

For a long time now I’ve been racking my brain for a new #HEALTHYEPLS dinner. One that’s super tasty and super easy. This dish is also protein packed, low carb and low fat or at least VERY good fat.  What more could you want? It’s also very pretty – it has ALL the colours and that is a sign of a good dinner! (no brown food here 🙂 ) And a big change and very different form Lemon Chicken….

I’ve also been desperate for something filling but not heavy with a touch of spice! So here goes… I hope you enjoy it as much as we did – He-Who-Doesn’t-Cook gave it the big thumbs up and that’s saying something! If it’s not enough for you as a dinner, maybe served it with sweet potato wedges or fries,  goes really really well with this dish!

It’s perfect for summer suppers or entertaining. What’s especially nice about this dish is you can add a little or a lot of chilli depending on your taste. You can also leave the chicken breasts/ thighs marinating in the fridge for an hour or for five hours. It really is totally up to you. (I also think the salsa would be really good with a little fresh mango in it?)

The decision between thighs or breasts is a personal one. I’ve made it with both many times. Today I’s say thighs are my favourite, maybe a little more flavour? anyhow – I’ll leave that one for you to decide.

I have a lot (and I mean a lot) of Chicken dinner recipes on my blog, it seems to be my go to, yours too? If you like this Lime Chicken dish then I’m sure you’ll also love my Lemon Chicken recipe to, go check it out!
