  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 53 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 ripe avocado, diced
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
– Lime wedges, for garnish


Instructions

Creating Fiesta Lime Chicken with Avocado is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure your dish turns out perfectly:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat over medium flame on your stovetop.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
5. Let it Rest: After grilling, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
6. Prepare the Avocado: While the chicken rests, dice the avocado and chop the cilantro.
7. Slice the Chicken: Cut the grilled chicken into strips or leave whole based on your preference.
8. Assemble the Dish: Place the chicken on a serving platter, top with diced avocado and chopped cilantro, and garnish with lime wedges.

These simple steps will guide you in creating a flavorful Fiesta Lime Chicken with Avocado that all will enjoy.
