Notes
- Storage: Store grilled chicken with avocado salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- We like to marinate the chicken in the olive oil lime mixture for up to 8 hours before grilling for maximum flavor.
- The avocado salsa is best made just before serving to keep the avocados fresh. If needed, cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 2 hours before serving.
- To remove the bite from the raw onion, place it in a bowl of very cold water for 15 minutes, drain, and proceed with the recipe.
