Ingredients

coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4-6 boneless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 avocados pitted and cut into chunks

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cayenne, rub all over the chicken.
In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook until browned on the outside and opaque throughout 8-10 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine onion and lime juice; set aside. Just before serving, fold in avocado chunks into onion mixture; season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken topped with salsa.

Notes

Note: if you are not a big onion fan, I would cut down the amount of onion, otherwise it may be overpowering for you.
