Ingredients
- 5 oz chicken breasts
- 2 tsp sea salt (or kosher)
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 avocados
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- ½ red onion (medium, diced)
- ½ c cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- kosher salt (to taste)
- pepper (to taste)
Method
- Make the avocado salsa (it’s best after sitting for 10-15 minutes). Combine the avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro in a large bowl. Sprinkle with lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper.
- Heat the grill or grill pan over high heat, then prepare the chicken while the grill heats up. Place one chicken breast onto a sheet of parchment paper, then fold the paper over the chicken. Use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breast to an even thickness of just under 1”. Set aside and repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
- Brush the chicken with the olive oil, then sprinkle with the seasoning blend. Flip the chicken over, and oil and season on the other side.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F using an instant read thermometer.
