Fiesta Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa

 Fiesta Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa 🍗🌮

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup lime juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Avocado Salsa:

2 ripe avocados, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. **Marinate the Chicken:** In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

2. **Prepare the Avocado Salsa:** In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine and set aside.

3. **Cook the Chicken:** Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. An internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) should be reached.

4. **Serve:** Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the grilled chicken topped with the fresh avocado salsa.
