Ingredients
For the Chicken Marinade:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup olive oil
Zest and juice of 2 limes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
For the Avocado Salsa:
2 ripe avocados, diced
1 small tomato, seeded and chopped
¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl or resealable bag, combine the olive oil, lime zest and juice, garlic, and spices. Add the chicken and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
2. Make the Avocado Salsa
In a medium bowl, gently mix the diced avocado, tomato, red onion, lime juice, olive oil, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
3. Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and grill marks form.
4. Assemble and Serve
Place grilled chicken on a plate or serving platter. Spoon generous amounts of avocado salsa over each piece. Garnish with extra lime wedges or fresh cilantro.
