I'm allergic to avocado, so I used mango salsa instead. It was just as delicious, and I didn't have to worry about an allergic reaction.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken ended up being really tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the avocado salsa was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I accidentally used too much lime juice in the marinade, and the chicken ended up being a bit sour. I would recommend using less lime juice next time.

I had trouble finding avocado salsa at my local grocery store. I ended up using guacamole instead, and it worked out just fine.
