2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup bottled salsa (or fresh, see below )
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 ripe avocado, cubed
2 tbsp thinly sliced green onions (optional)
magic bullet seven-second salsa (note ( this yeilds more salsa than needed for the chicken recipe)
1/4 onion (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 jalapeno pepper
8 -10 cherry tomatoes (about 1/2 cup) or 1 tomato ( about 1/2 cup)
1 -2 garlic clove
1 small sprigs cilantro (optional)
salt and pepper

Prepare salsa in magic bullet; set aside.

Combine salsa and lime juice; spoon over and around chicken. Simmer uncovered until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens, 6-8 minutes.
Transfer chicken to serving plates. Cook the remaining pan juices in skillet over high heat until slightly reduced, about 30 seconds.
Spoon juices over the chicken; top with avocado. Garnish with green onions, if desired.
