With the warmer months coming into season, the demand for cooler recipes is high.  We want to keep the house cool and do little to no work in the kitchen.  This recipe is simple yet tasteful, with a lot of health benefits.  You can dress this up as much or as little as you want.  Chicken is a very common choice of protein.  One chicken breast will give you 26.1g of protein, 1.4g of fat and 0g of carbohydrates.  The lean protein found in chicken helps with growing and maintaining muscle mass, which will help with increasing strength.  Chicken breast without the skin contains the least amount of fat amongst all the other variations of chicken. 

Avocados contain an amazing amount of nutrition.  One of the most common known facts about avocados is that they are a great source of healthy fat.  The fat derived from avocados are in the omega-3 fatty acids, which is great for bone health.  They also contain great sources of vitamins C, E, K and B.
