Preparation

Step 1

Directions
For marinade, combine wine, oil, tarragon, and salt. Place chicken in plastic bag set into a shallow dish. Add marinade; seal bag. Turn chicken to coat well. Chill for 2 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
Meanwhile, combine avocados, tomato, garlic, chili peppers, onions, cilantro, honey, and lemon juice. Toss well to mix. Cover and chill up to 2 hours.
Remove chicken from bag, reserving marinade. Grill chicken on an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 5 minutes. Turn chicken and brush with marinade; grill for 7 to 10 minutes more or until chicken is tender and no longer pink. Serve with avocado mixture and, if desired, lettuce leaves. Makes 6 servings.To grill by indirect heat: Arrange preheated coals around a drip pan in a covered grill. Test for medium heat above pan. Place chicken on grill over drip pan. Cover and grill for 15 to 18 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink, brushing with marinade up to the last 5 minutes of grilling.
