My sister was watching the Food Network the other day and called me excited about a recipe she saw for Mango Guacamole. She said it sounded just like something I would like. She was right!! I couldn’t get it out of my head. I am one who loves the savory and sweet flavors together and this guacamole is the perfect combination. The fresh lime flavor, the smoothness of the avocado and the kick from the jalapeno pepper all work so great together. After eating a huge bowl of this with chips I decided it would be great on a southwestern chicken sandwich. I marinaded some chicken in a basic Mexican lime marinade, grilled it and served the chicken with the Mango Guacamole and it was amazing!! There were so many great flavors working together to make a really flavorful and delicious weeknight dinner.

When ready to grill, remove from the marinade and cook for 5-7 minutes on either side, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center (if you don't have a grill, just saute in a pan on high heat with a little olive oil until golden brown. Pace a lid on the pan and cook until the center of the chicken is done.). Prepare the mango guacamole recipe (recipe seperate) and set aside. To prepare the sandwiches, spread some of the guacamole on a hamburger bun or large roll. Slice the lettuce, tomatoes and pepperjack cheese into thin strips. Add these to the sandwich.
