Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4 oz each) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 whole (juiced and zested) Key limes
- 1 small (diced) Ripe avocado
- 1 medium (diced) Tomato
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 small (seeded and minced) Jalapeño
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for salsa)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Brush the chicken breasts with the marinade, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the key lime salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, key lime juice, and zest.
Season the salsa with salt and black pepper to taste, then gently toss to mix the ingredients without mashing the avocado.
To serve, place a grilled chicken breast on a plate and top with a generous spoonful of key lime salsa.
Garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired, and enjoy!
