Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast or 4 chicken breasts, boneless skinless
Marinade:
- 2-3 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
- 1 lime juice, and zest
- 1/2 tsp cumin ground
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Avocado Salsa
- 2 small avocado or 1 large, diced, ripe but firm
- 1 large tomato chopped
- 1 small red onion diced
- 1 jalapeño seeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- To a large bowl, add all the marinade ingredients and mix well to combine.
- Add in the chicken and mix to get the pieces coated on all sides. Cover and allow it to marinate into the fridge for up to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, chop all the veggies for the salsa into small cubes. Then add them to a medium bowl and toss well to combine. Cover and keep it in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Heat a large grill pan or an outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through.
- Once it’s done, allow the chicken to sit for 5 minutes before slicing it. Serve the chicken with the avocado salsa.
Notes
- Use lean chicken breast. you may use chicken tenders or boneless chicken thighs.
- don't like avocados? use many or peach, they taste just as great with chicken.
- for a less spicy salsa, you may skip the jalapeno.
- if the avocado is large use only one. otherwise, you may use 2 small-sized avocados.
- use fresh garlic and cilantro for the best flavors.
- marinating the chicken is important for juicy and flavorful chicken. but if pressed for time you can marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- any other oil in place of the olive oil will work. try avocado oil.
