Cilantro Lime Chicken with fresh tomato and avocado salsa

This grilled chicken is covered in a fresh tomato and avocado salsa with lime and cilantro, which really brightens the meat. Trader Joe's Israeli couscous blend on the side *choose rice instead if cooking gluten free* and steamed broccoli with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
