2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
½ Teaspoon of Paprika
¼ Teaspoon of Salt
¼ Teaspoon of Pepper
¼ Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
¼ Teaspoon of Onion Powder
¼ Teaspoon of Cumin
1 Teaspoon of Olive Oil
2 packages of wild rice
Juice and Zest from Two Limes
A Dash of Salt and Pepper
2 Tablespoons of Cilantro, chopped

Sauce over the top:
1 medium avocado
2 T greek yogurt

Combine all the dry seasonings in a small bowl. Mix them together and then season both sides of each chicken breast.

Add the teaspoon of olive oil to a large pan or skillet. Heat the olive oil for a minute over medium/high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pan. Cook for seven minutes on each side with the lid on.

After the chicken breasts have cooked all the way through, remove them from the pan and let them rest for seven minutes before slicing them.

Prepare the wild rice according to the directions.  Once it is done, toss in the lime zest, lime juice, salt and pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix to combine.

Make the sauce by putting the avocado and the yogurt into a food processor and mixing until smooth.

Serve the sliced chicken over the wild rice and top with the avocado cream sauce.
