1/4 cup of fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons of chili powder

2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 ripe fresh avocados
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the fresh lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 40 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is cooking, cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl, mash slightly with a fork, and season with salt, lime juice, and chopped cilantro.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken and serve it topped with the fresh avocado mixture.
