lemon chicken with guacamole sauce {recipe}

this is one of my favorite recipes because it's one where Beau and i can collaborate for dinner. Beau handles the grill while i man the kitchen.

 there's something about creating something together as a couple that just makes you feel so much closer.

it's also a recipe that is frequently requested by family members.

it's one of those meals where everyone is silent unless they're making satisfied noises or exclaiming "THIS IS SO GOOD!"

i figured it was my duty to share this delicious recipe with everyone in blog land
