Grilled Chicken, Sauteed Zucchini with Mushrooms, and Avocado Salad

Sometimes it's all about the sides!!! I had NO ideas for dinner tonight as my attentions were elsewhere. It was the first day back to school (and the beginning of a new era as my kids just started middle school AND high school). Anyway... dinner was the last thing on my mind. I just wanted something easy! Simply grilled chicken fit the bill... albeit a little boring. But maybe I could spruce up the side dishes, and it could look more interesting? Falsely elude that I put a lot of effort into tonight's dinner? Yea... that was the trick! Hope you enjoy. :-)

Chicken:

Season 4 chicken breasts with:

sea salt, pepper, chili pepper, garlic powder, paprika and cumin

Grill to desired doneness!

Sauteed Zucchini & Mushrooms:

2 zucchini's, sliced

9oz. sliced mushrooms
