This 450-calorie dinner is full of flavor (and 39g of protein!). Cooking Light’s Grilled Chicken with Tomato Avocado Salad uses homemade buttermilk dressing to balance the heat of the chicken. Chicken is a high-quality protein that is naturally low in sodium. Avocado delivers twice the amount of potassium than banana and is a good source of folic acid, vitamin E and B-vitamins.
