Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the lime marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate.

  5. Prepare the Avocado and Tomatoes: Slice the ripe avocados and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  6. Rest the Chicken: Remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
  7. Plating Perfection: Slice the grilled chicken, layer on a serving platter, top it with the sliced avocados and halved cherry tomatoes, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.
