A tantalizing dish featuring grilled chicken paired with creamy avocados and sweet cherry tomatoes, perfect for summer barbecues or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until you achieve a uniform mixture.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they’re fully coated. For optimal infusion of flavors, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. This ensures a nice sear while keeping the inside juicy.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Once the grill reaches the desired temperature, place the marinated chicken on it. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature hits 165°F.
  5. Prepare the Accoutrements: While the chicken grills, slice the avocados and halve the cherry tomatoes, keeping everything ready for assembly.
  6. Rest and Slice: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This step allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist bite.
  7. Serve: Place the grilled chicken on a plate, top generously with avocado slices and cherry tomatoes, and garnish with fresh cilantro if you desire.

Notes

Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor and customize the dish with jalapeños or corn if desired.
