chicken with avocado salsa

Season chicken with mexican chili powder and cook on the stove.

Salsa : tomatoes and avocado sliced. Sprinkle with garlic powder and squeeze lime juice in it.

You can serve with black beans although beans technically aren't paleo.

This picture is with Salmon but I put mine on Chicken.
