Cilantro-Lime Chicken Thighs
I'm more of a thigh man myself. I'm speaking about my choice in chicken cuts of course. I prefer the dark meat and find it more flavorful and juicy then the ever so popular, boneless/skinless breast. Today we'll be sautéing citrus marinated chicken thighs and serving with a fresh avocado and tomato salsa.

Avocado - 1
Chicken Thighs, boneless/skinless - 1 lb
