15 Minute Caprese Chicken with Avocado
One of the hardest things about eating healthy for me is that for some reason I think that healthy things are bland and don’t taste as good as the other comfort foods that me and my family enjoy.  Well I was definitely wrong about this!!  It’s amazing what some simple, natural and fresh ingredients can do to a piece of chicken! My family loves chicken but I wanted something more than just grilled chicken that I knew that everyone would enjoy.  I made this 15 minute Caprese chicken and it was amazing!  It was so good, so easy to make and it will now be our new comfort food!

I used the Foster Farms Simply Raised chicken because it is locally grown and it is always antibiotic free.  They make sure that there isn’t anything in their chicken that’s not supposed to be.  Print off this $1.00 off coupon to save on their amazing chicken.
