Grilled Chicken with Green Tomato Salsa and Succotash

It was last friday night, usually our date night, but there was no money in the budget for a dinner out. The only thing in the refrigerator was a grilled chicken breast and the only thing on the counter was green tomatoes I got free from a coworker and an avocado. What do you do? This recipe!! The dinner was simple and absolutely delicious. The best part was that it is made with things you probably keep around anyway! I hope you try it and enjoy!
   I also want to take a minute and let you know the ways you can get my recipes whenever I post. You can "follow" me on the main blog page and/ or you can get emails of my recipes when I post. At the top right of the blog page there is a place to enter your email address! This way feeding your genes is convenient!
