i always try to cook for my clients economically. just because they are paying for my services, doesn't mean i can be irresponsible with their money. i generally go to the market every morning, but there are times when i don't always use everything i bought that day. today for instance, i had an avocado, grape tomatoes and some cucumbers in my fridge. it's been a while since i have cooked chicken so i thought a chicken paillard (basically a thinly sliced chicken breast), topped with a fresh "salsa" would be nice. it was a beautiful, sunny, breezy day out, and it just seemed to suit. i marinated a few chicken breasts, which i halved horizontally, in fresh basil,oregano, parsley and garlic. i grilled and topped them with fresh grape tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, basil, lemon zest, and juice, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. simple, easy and delicious. i find that simple and fresh is always better. this photo might not do it justice, but how bad could it be???
