Description

This blueberry honey lime chicken is served over creamy avocado pesto cucumber noodles! It’s a healthy, gluten-free and paleo-friendly spring dinner that everyone will love!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
  • 2-½ teaspoons Honey
  • 2 teaspoons Jalapeno Tabasco Sauce
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 8 ounces, weight Chicken Breast
  • FOR THE SALSA:
  • ¾ cups Fresh Blueberries, Halved
  • 2 Tablespoons Jalapeno, Minced, Seeds Removed
  • 4 teaspoons Red Onion, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Basil, Thinly Sliced
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Lime Juice
  • FOR THE PESTO:
  • ¼ cups Avocado, Mashed (65g Or One Small Avocado)
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Garlic, Minced
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • Squeeze Of Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1 cup Fresh Basil, Tightly Packed
  • 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1  Large Cucumber, Spiralized With Blade B

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk lime juice, honey, Tabasco sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken breast and cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.

Once marinated, heat oven to 350ºF. Bake chicken until no longer pink inside, about 25–30 minutes.

Combine all the salsa ingredients in a small bowl and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

In a small food processor (mine is 3 cups), blend avocado, garlic, salt, a pinch of pepper and a squeeze of lime juice until smooth and creamy. Add basil and use the “chop” setting until broken down. Puree until well mixed, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. With the food processor running, stream in the olive oil until well combined.

Place the cucumber noodles into a large bowl and add the avocado pesto. Toss to evenly coat the noodles (you may need to cut them up!). Divide the noodles between plates, followed by the chicken and blueberry salsa. Devour!
