Seared Chicken with Avocado

This week at The Sisterhood, and in support of our new Shrink for Good Challenge and the awesome Weight Watchers Lose For Good campaign, I will be posting DAILY a WW recipe that is near and dear to my heart, meaning I like it- A LOT.

I get bored with chicken and am always looking for ways to “snazz” it up.  However, I never get bored with avocado and pretty much ANYTHING with avocado is a winner in my book, including this gem of a recipe. 

As I say with every recipe I share, go ahead and add these items to your grocery list for the week and promise me that you will make this sometime soon.  You will love it.  Would I ever lie to you?  And when you do and you fall off your chair because it is so good, then you can come back here and leave me a comment about how great I am to share these with you.

For real.
