What Came First The Chicken Or The Egg??

  This is a Scrumptious! last minute go-to meal.  It reminds me of a Paleo Protein Sammy! Instead of what usually would be mayo I made a Cilantro Avocado pesto spread.    I saved it and I have been using it with veggies, snacks and lunch meat. If you love Cilantro this is a great spread that you need to try. 

Avocado & Cilantro Pesto

• 1 bunch cilantro leaves
• 2 Garlic Cloves
• 1 1/2 Avocado
• 1  Lemon Freshly Squeezed Juice--Very Important!
• 1/3 cup avocado oil
• 1/3 cup Extra Virgin Oil
• 1/3 cup cashews
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt (more to taste as the amount of salt on the cashews can make a difference)
• freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. In a blender or food processor, grind the cilantro, garlic and lemon until well blended.
2. Slowly incorporate the oils, blending as you go.
3. Add the cashews and Parmesan; blend until smooth.
4. Add salt, blending and tasting as you go.
5. Add freshly ground pepper to taste.
6. Add more or less avocado and lemon depending on your preference.

*A really easy way to cut an avocado is within its skin.   Make slices vertically and then horizontally and then scoop out the squares--


Protein Sammy

• Grilled Chicken Breast
• Mixed Greens
• 1 Egg
• Avocado Cilantro Pesto

Instructions

1. I used the grilled chicken that I usually make at the beginning of the week. I always try and do a quick marinade-- whatever I can find in the pantry.  Italian dressing, garlic powder salt n pepper and sometimes good ol Red Robin Seasoning.  Make sure you try and marinade the chicken, it makes a huge difference!
2. Pop out your George Foreman and grill!
3. Spread Avocado Cilantro spread on chicken breast.
4. Add greens
5. Top with fried egg.
