Citrus Chicken Recipe

I have done it... I have managed to make a meal without completely screwing it up. And it was the most delicious thing I may have ever made (if I say so myself) I even managed to make it look edible which is just unheard of.

Therefore I am going to share with you this most delicious recipe.


Ingredients
The Marinade:
Skinless Chicken Breasts
Juice of 2 lemons
Juice of 2 limes
1/2 tbsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Minced Jalepeno Pepper
1 Minced Garlic Clove
1 tsp salt

The Guacamole 
2 Avacados
jalepenos diced finely
1/4 red pepper diced finely
2 garlic cloves diced
1 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and Pepper to taste
1- 2 tbs of melted coconut oil

Sweet Potato Fries
Chop up a sweet potato per person in chip wedge sizes (1 inch thick, half the potato long)
Cover with melted coconut oil (or normal oil if you don't have coco oil)
Sprinkle salt all over
Bake for 40 minutes.

The Method
Place your chicken in a gallon resealable bag or in a deep dish.
Add lemon juice, lime juice, chilli poweder, paprika, jalepenos, garlic, salt and pepper.
Mix well, then coat the chicken and place in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.

To make the guacamole, add avocado to a bowl and use a fork to mash it up, then add the jalepeno, onion, spice and salt and pepper. Mix it up and store in fridge covered in foil.

Pre heat oven to to 204c
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and put into the over for 20 - 25 minutes (discard marinade)

Then grill for 3-4 minutes (or until cooked)

Serve over a bed of lettuce and garlic mayo.
