Ingredients
Scale
4 pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Juice of 2 limes
1/2 cup of chopped cilantro
3 cloves of minced garlic
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 diced avocados
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the chicken by placing chicken breasts in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour in lime juice, minced garlic, and half of the chopped cilantro. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step 2: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Cook chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 3: While the chicken is cooking, dice the avocado. In a separate bowl, mix remaining cilantro with diced avocado, adding a pinch of salt and lime juice.
Step 4: Once chicken is cooked, let it rest for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve alongside the avocado mix. Garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
