Instructions
Creating Grilled Chicken with Avocado Salsa is straightforward. Follow these steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts, coating completely. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Ensure it’s well-greased to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the Chicken: Place marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4. Make the Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine diced avocados, chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice. Gently toss to combine.
5. Serve the Chicken: Once cooked, remove chicken from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
6. Top with Salsa: Serve each piece of chicken topped generously with avocado salsa.
7. Garnish and Enjoy: Add extra lime or cilantro as a garnish before serving if desired.
