Ingredients

For the Chicken

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 total)
• juice of 1/2 lime
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon cumin (I use this brand of organic seasoning)
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Avocado Feta Salsa

• 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and cubed
• 1 roma tomato, diced
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped artichoke hearts
• 1/4 cup capers
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 3 tablespoons avocado oil
• juice of 1/2 lime
• sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

For the Avocado Feta Salsa

1. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and lightly toss until well combined. If time allows, refrigerate the salsa for at least one hour before serving. Doing this will allow all of the vibrant flavors in this salsa to really come together.

For the Chicken:

1. Pre-heat your barbecue or on the stove top, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In large bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and cilantro, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk to thoroughly mix.
3. Toss the chicken breasts in the marinade until evenly coated. (If time allows, let the chicken marinate in the sauce for a few hours)
4. Place the chicken breasts on the pre-heated grill, pour over any marinade that is left in the bowl. Grill the chicken until it is cooked all the way through or if you are using a thermometer, until it has an internal temperature of 165°F.  Top with Avocado-Feta Salsa, and enjoy!

But how do you know what to drink? What is the best alcohol for a low carb diet. Or what alcohol is lowest in carbs?

First, I’m going to break down the carbs in alcohol for you. Check out my Complete Guide to Carbs in Alcohol. If you’re wondering… Can you have alcohol on a low carb diet? Is alcohol keto? You might be saying to yourself “But wait? I can’t! I’m low carb.” Well, you are NOT low carb. You’re are a person following a low carb lifestyle. Do not be defined by your dietary decisions. Doing so will lead to a life of restriction and feeling restricted often causes us to stray from our intended path. Besides, who wants to pass up low carb gummy worms. Especially when they are boozy low carb gummy worms.
