Cook together date night

Last night was cook together date night which in all actuality was just Keith cooks and Kiley makes margaritas night. It was also our first gluten free cooking date night so to make it special it was one of my favorite meals (Cilantro Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa) made glutten free. Everything was fresh and from scratch except for the rice. For that we used Zatarains yellow rice. After doing some research I learned that not all flavored rice's are gluten free so I was thrilled to find this one that was. (Recipe below)

A light version

A loaded version

Chicken:
2 Tablespoons minced Cilantro
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice (bottled is fine)
1 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt
Combine first 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well and add the chicken. Toss and let stand about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. When time comes you will grill the chicken 6-8 minutes each side. Keep in mind that the rice takes 25+ minutes.

Salsa:
1 Cup chopped ripe tomatoes (2-3 tomatoes)
2 Tablespoons finely chopped onion
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1/8 Teaspoon black pepper
1 avocado peeled and diced
Combine all ingredients except the avocado in a medium bowl. Right before serving add the avacado and stir to combine.
