Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Avocado Salsa
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub evenly on both sides.
  3. Mix chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken, rubbing it in gently.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Place the seasoned chicken breasts onto the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side until grill marks appear.
  3. Flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Making the Salsa
  1. While chicken is grilling, prepare the avocado salsa by dicing the avocado and adding it to a bowl.
  2. Add halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Gently toss to combine.
Serving
  1. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
  2. Slice the chicken into thin strips and top with the avocado salsa before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored separately in airtight containers. Chicken lasts up to three days, while salsa is best consumed within a day. You can marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavors.
