Does anything say California cuisine more than adding Avocado? I always picture the typical Californian being tan, fit and eating avocados at each meal. Is that real? If so, I’m moving. 🙂
California Chicken combines so many of my favorite flavors in one dish! Grilled chicken topped with creamy avocado, sliced tomato, bacon and melted cheese! The ultimate low carb summer entree!
So let’s dress up that tired grilled chicken, Cali style! Make some extra bacon for breakfast, grab some avo & tomato, and ENJOY!
